In the literature

There were no changes to gene expression that achieved genome-wide significance, although the analysis revealed two genes with nominally significant expression changes ( P ∼ 0.01 before correction for multiple hypothesis testing), including MUC4 and HRC that were induced 1.8-fold and 1.7-fold, respectively.
Second, the between-group differences in CAV1 and CAV2 were modest in magnitude and, although nominally significant, attenuated to a consistent trend after correction for multiple comparisons across the five candidate genes; the coordinated-repression interpretation consequently rests primarily on the CAV1-CAV2 co-expression relationship, which is robust to such correction.
Although the association of ABCA7 rs3764650 with AD has been confirmed in Caucasians (Harold et al., 2009 ; Lambert et al., 2010 ; Carrasquillo et al., 2011 ; Hollingworth et al., 2011 ; Omoumi et al., 2014 ; Cuyvers et al., 2015 ), GWAS studies in African Americans have found either none, or a nominally significant association (Logue et al., 2011 ; Reitz et al., 2013 ; N’songo et al., 2017 ).
Those associations were identified as potentially causal association if: (1) IVW/contamination mixture test was FDR-significant, (2) confirmed by nominally significant weighted median results in the same direction of IVW and (3) nominally significant MR Egger analysis if there was any horizontal pleiotropy indicated by an Egger intercept significantly deviating from zero.
