From: Interaction of gender and body mass index (BMI) reveals evidence of linkage for hypertension in the Framingham Heart Study

Figure 1

Genome scan plot Genome scan results for hypertension including the baseline (no covariates), the mean BMI only, and the full (mean BMI, gender, and BMI*gender interaction) models. Suggestive evidence of linkage (p < 0.001) corresponds to a LOD score of 2.8 or 3.8 for the single covariate and full models respectively, and significant evidence of linkage (p < 0.00001) corresponds to a LOD score 4.8 and 6.0, respectively.
