The resulting SNP lists from GenePipe, GenomePipe and LinkagePipe were combined and we used TagSNP to eliminate duplicate and redundant SNPs, or SNPs with low assay design scores, yielding a set of 1361 SNPs. Of these, 709 (52%) were GWAS SNPs and the remaining 48% were new SNPs not in the GWAS which were selected to provide additional functional examination of genes.
