In the literature

A nominally significant non‐linear association was observed only for the aMED score, with a greater rate of risk reduction beginning around a score of 3.5 ( p non‐linearity = 0.04; Figure S1 in supporting information); each one‐unit increase in the aMED and MIND scores was associated with a 5% and 3% lower risk of dementia in linear trend analyses, respectively.
An alternative and commonly applied strategy for discriminating between real and false disease loci identified through association studies is to replicate nominally significant results in independent datasets, thereby reducing type II error as all significant results are followed up.
Will the real disease gene please stand up?
