Consulting the Catalogue of Published Genome-Wide Association Studies6, we intersected reported SNP-disease associations with P < 5 × 10−8 with the selected regions (Supplementary Table 2). Further restricting to diseases for which we have published genome scans, 4 associations remained. Three other SNP associations we were aware of that fall within the imprinted regions, one recently published by us for basal cell carcinoma7 and two established by the Diabetes Genetics Replication and Meta-analysis (DIAGRAM) Consortium, were also examined.
