Comparison of effect sizes and the strength of association of all variants that exceeded genome-wide significance at one or more skeletal sites.

<p>(LL-BMD) = lower limb BMD, (UL-BMD) = upper limb BMD, (SK-BMD) = skull BMD, (GENE) = closest gene, (POS) = position in the genome based on hg18, (EA) = effect allele, (<i>β</i>) = estimates of effect size expressed as adjusted SD per copy of the effect allele (EA), (CI-L) = lower limit of the 95% confidence interval for <i>β</i>, (CI-U) = upper limit of the 95% confidence interval for <i>β</i>, (<i>P</i>) = <i>P</i>-value.</p><p>*Please note that <i>PTHLH</i> is also found in the 12p.11.22 locus containing <i>KLHDC5, RSPO3</i> is also found in the 6q.22.32 locus containing <i>CENPW, TNFRSF11B</i> is also located at the 8q.24.12 locus containing <i>COLEC10, LGR4</i> is also located at the 11p.14.1 locus containing <i>LIN7C</i> and <i>LRP5</i> is also located at the 11q13.2 locus containing <i>PPP6R3</i>. <i>FAM3C</i> and <i>CPED1</i> are also located at the 7q.31.31 locus containing <i>WNT16</i>.
