We first searched for additional genome-wide significant SNPs within a 1Mb window (±0.5Mb of the lead SNP) involving each previously-described or novel locus in GERA, testing for replication in UKB. We first identified an additional novel SNP, rs1322640, 129Kb from rs13197550 (lead GERA SNP), that replicated in UKB (P=8.3×10−6, Table 2a, Supplementary Table 5). We next identified a novel INDEL (chromosome=20, b37 position=10,573,001) located 396Kb from rs2104574 (lead GERA SNP), that replicated in UKB (P=0.012, Table 2a, Supplementary Table 5).
