Discussion Genes harbouring markers with only modest evidence of association (nominally significant but not reaching the genome-wide significance threshold) can be identified if they belong to the same biological pathway or mechanism; therefore, pathway-based approaches, which jointly consider multiple variants in interacting or related genes, might complement the most-significant SNPs/genes approach for interpreting genome-wide association (GWA) data on complex diseases [ 7 , 8 ].
Finally, in humans, OX2R polymorphisms affect morningness–eveningness, napping, and reports of excessive daytime sleepiness, while OX1R polymorphisms have smaller but nominally significant effects on sleepiness and napping, based on numerous studies and data in the Sleep Disorder Knowledge Portal ( https://sleep.hugeamp.org/ ) ( 40 – 43 ).
A nominally significant Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation IV (APACHE IV) × LAR interaction (hospital mortality, P for interaction=.02) indicated stronger LAR prognostic effects in lower-severity patients (APACHE IV≤70), representing within-biomarker effect modification requiring prospective validation.
To further assess the relevance of driver meQTLs to cancer risk, we used them to predict breast cancer status alongside clinical covariates using the approach described by Elgart et al . 18 We first performed feature selection by LASSO on nominally significant driver meQTLs and available clinical factors (age, ancestry as represented by the top 10 genotype-derived PCs); LASSO regularization removed ancestry and some meQTLs.
In that study, OCA2, KITLG, SLC24A4, and TPCN2, which are all associated with blond hair or blue eyes, did not show a nominally significant association with the risk of CM or BCC.
