imputed markers using three different window sizes (1, 2 and 3 flanking markers) (see methods for further discussion). We determined different sliding windows size centered in the 73 imputed markers considered associated for diabetes II, these sliding windows were separated in two groups of sliding windows based if their central marker was concordant or discordant to empirically measured association statistics and three different summary statistics (mean, variance and total sum of corrected association statistics) were collected.
