In the literature

The BF% increasing allele of rs6857 near TOMM40 / APOE is significantly associated with increased overall adiposity (BMI), abdominal adiposity (WHR adjBMI ), visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and liver fat storage, which may be mediating the nominally significant association with increased fasting glucose and risk of T2D ( Table 2 and Supplementary Table 13 ).
While this post-hoc analysis yielded no statistically significant results after correction for multiple testing ( P values presented in the last column), the top 10 diseases were very similar (with higher but nominally significant P values for the top three hits) with the analysis using the broader reference set of genes.
It of course changed p-values, as would be expected with a decrease in the number of independent observations, but only a small number of p-values that were nominally significant become slightly insignificant.
