the other SNPs remained statistically significant after correction for multiple testing (Table 2A). Furthermore, we carried out sex specific analyses on the phase 1 genotyping. rs1342043 showed significant genotypic association (p = 0.005) in males. The MAF of C allele for rs1342043 was higher in controls (40%) as compared to cases (35%) thereby conferring protection for CA in males (Table 2B). Also, the SNP rs7849345 showed significant association at the allelic (p = 0.002) as well as the genotypic level (p = 0.005) in females (Table 2B). The MAF of the T allele (rs7849345) was higher in controls (49%) when compared to cases (38%), thus conferring protection against CA. The associations of rs1342043 in males and rs7849345 in females withstood correction for multiple testing (p < 0.05).
