AOS and AOI phenotypes were normalized within each dataset. Z-scores were calculated to correct for age and sex prior to analysis. Scripts were written to perform a linear regression using AOS or AOI as the dependent variable and each SNP as the independent variable. Each SNP was coded according to an additive model (0, 1, or 2 copies of the minor allele) and each SNP was analyzed separately.
