There were no significant overlaps between the SNPs identified in these studies and the SNPs that display the largest variances from array to array. Thus, there is no significant support for either of the alternative hypotheses: 1) that the positive results of any of these studies coming from occult racial/ethnic stratification or 2) that the positive results of these studies come from assay noise alone.
