To identify SNPs that may be potentially causative, LocusZoom plots show not only the magnitude of association for each SNP, but also the pairwise LD pattern with the most strongly associated SNP or another user-specified SNP. Quick inspection can reveal the extent of the associated region and the location and number of SNPs in strong LD with the index SNP. In addition, a locus may show strongly associated variants that are weakly correlated, suggesting the presence of multiple independent association signals.
