<div type="abstract" xml:lang="en">
<p>Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified more than 100 genetic variants contributing to BMI, a measure of body size, or waist-to-hip ratio (adjusted for BMI, WHR
<sub>adjBMI</sub>
), a measure of body shape. Body size and shape change as people grow older and these changes differ substantially between men and women. To systematically screen for age- and/or sex-specific effects of genetic variants on BMI and WHR
<sub>adjBMI</sub>
, we performed meta-analyses of 114 studies (up to 320,485 individuals of European descent) with genome-wide chip and/or Metabochip data by the Genetic Investigation of Anthropometric Traits (GIANT) Consortium. Each study tested the association of up to ~2.8M SNPs with BMI and WHR
<sub>adjBMI</sub>
in four strata (men ≤50y, men >50y, women ≤50y, women >50y) and summary statistics were combined in stratum-specific meta-analyses. We then screened for variants that showed age-specific effects (G x AGE), sex-specific effects (G x SEX) or age-specific effects that differed between men and women (G x AGE x SEX). For BMI, we identified 15 loci (11 previously established for main effects, four novel) that showed significant (FDR<5%) age-specific effects, of which 11 had larger effects in younger (<50y) than in older adults (≥50y). No sex-dependent effects were identified for BMI. For WHR
<sub>adjBMI</sub>
, we identified 44 loci (27 previously established for main effects, 17 novel) with sex-specific effects, of which 28 showed larger effects in women than in men, five showed larger effects in men than in women, and 11 showed opposite effects between sexes. No age-dependent effects were identified for WHR
<sub>adjBMI</sub>
. This is the first genome-wide interaction meta-analysis to report convincing evidence of age-dependent genetic effects on BMI. In addition, we confirm the sex-specificity of genetic effects on WHR
<sub>adjBMI</sub>
. These results may provide further insights into the biology that underlies weight change with age or the sexually dimorphism of body shape.</p>

<abstract>
<p>Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified more than 100 genetic variants contributing to BMI, a measure of body size, or waist-to-hip ratio (adjusted for BMI, WHR
<sub>adjBMI</sub>
), a measure of body shape. Body size and shape change as people grow older and these changes differ substantially between men and women. To systematically screen for age- and/or sex-specific effects of genetic variants on BMI and WHR
<sub>adjBMI</sub>
, we performed meta-analyses of 114 studies (up to 320,485 individuals of European descent) with genome-wide chip and/or Metabochip data by the Genetic Investigation of Anthropometric Traits (GIANT) Consortium. Each study tested the association of up to ~2.8M SNPs with BMI and WHR
<sub>adjBMI</sub>
in four strata (men ≤50y, men >50y, women ≤50y, women >50y) and summary statistics were combined in stratum-specific meta-analyses. We then screened for variants that showed age-specific effects (G x AGE), sex-specific effects (G x SEX) or age-specific effects that differed between men and women (G x AGE x SEX). For BMI, we identified 15 loci (11 previously established for main effects, four novel) that showed significant (FDR<5%) age-specific effects, of which 11 had larger effects in younger (<50y) than in older adults (≥50y). No sex-dependent effects were identified for BMI. For WHR
<sub>adjBMI</sub>
, we identified 44 loci (27 previously established for main effects, 17 novel) with sex-specific effects, of which 28 showed larger effects in women than in men, five showed larger effects in men than in women, and 11 showed opposite effects between sexes. No age-dependent effects were identified for WHR
<sub>adjBMI</sub>
. This is the first genome-wide interaction meta-analysis to report convincing evidence of age-dependent genetic effects on BMI. In addition, we confirm the sex-specificity of genetic effects on WHR
<sub>adjBMI</sub>
. These results may provide further insights into the biology that underlies weight change with age or the sexually dimorphism of body shape.</p>

<title>Author Summary</title>
<p>Adult body size and body shape differ substantially between men and women and change over time. More than 100 genetic variants that influence body mass index (measure of body size) or waist-to-hip ratio (measure of body shape) have been identified. While there is evidence that some genetic loci affect body shape differently in men than in women, little is known about whether genetic effects differ in older compared to younger adults, and whether such changes differ between men and women. Therefore, we conducted a systematic genome-wide search, including 114 studies (>320,000 individuals), to specifically identify genetic loci with age- and or sex-dependent effects on body size and shape. We identified 15 loci of which the effect on BMI was different in older compared to younger adults, whereas we found no evidence for loci with different effects in men compared to women. The opposite was seen for body shape as we identified 44 loci of which the effect on waist-to-hip ratio differed between men and women, but no difference between younger and older adults were observed. Our observations may provide new insights into the biology that underlies weight change with age or the sexual dimorphism of body shape.</p>

<title>Introduction</title>
<p>Body size and shape are independent risk factors for morbidity and mortality [
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.ref001" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.ref006" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>
]. They change as people grow older and these changes differ substantially between men and women [
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.ref007" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.ref012" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>
]. Subtle sexual dimorphisms are already apparent during early childhood, but differences become more apparent during puberty due, at least in part, to the increasing influence of sex steroid hormones [
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.ref012" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.ref014" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>
]. After puberty, sex-differences are largely maintained over the adult life-course. As women age a decline in sex steroid hormones, which coincides with menopause, affects their body shape and composition, resulting in a more android fat distribution [
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.ref008" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
,
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.ref012" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>
,
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.ref015" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>
]. When younger, women tend towards an hourglass body shape with gynoid fat distribution, storing proportionally more fat at thighs and hip than around the waist [
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.ref012" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>
,
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.ref016" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>
,
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.ref017" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>
]. At a later age, often after menopause, women’s fat storage shifts more upwards around the waist [
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.ref012" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>
,
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.ref016" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>
,
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.ref017" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>
]. In men, changes in body fat distribution are subtler than in women, showing a slow but steady increase in waist circumference with age [
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.ref012" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>
]. Thus, after the menopause, the sex-differences in body shape between men and women decrease [
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.ref012" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>
].</p>
<p>This intricate interplay between age and sex on body size and shape is driven by underlying biological processes, involving environmental and genetic factors [
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.ref007" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.ref012" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>
,
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.ref015" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>
]. Elucidating sex- and age-specific genetic effects on body size and shape may provide insights into the biological processes that are involved in the regulation of body weight and fat distribution.</p>
<p>More than 100 genetic loci have been identified for body mass index (BMI), a measure for body size, and for waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for BMI (WHR
<sub>adjBMI</sub>
), a measure of body shape, most of which were identified through our own work in the Genetic Investigation of ANthropometric Traits (GIANT) Consortium [
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.ref018" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>
,
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.ref019" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>
]. In a recent sex-stratified genome-wide association meta-analysis (up to 133,723 individuals in discovery stage), we searched for variants with sex-specific effects on BMI and WHR
<sub>adjBMI</sub>
and identified several loci for which the association with WHR
<sub>adjBMI</sub>
differed between men and women, whereas no such loci were observed for BMI [
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.ref010" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>
]. However, so far, no GWAS efforts have aimed to identify genetic loci that contribute to differences in body size and shape observed in younger versus older adults, particularly across the menopausal period in women.</p>
<p>We conducted a genome-wide search for loci that exhibit age- and/or sex-specific differences in BMI and WHR
<sub>adjBMI</sub>
. For this, we utilized study-specific genome-wide association statistics separately by sex and by two age groups in each of the studies participating in the GIANT consortium. The two age groups focus on those below and above 50 years of age, as this cut-off coincides with the average age at which women transition through menopause and experience changes in body fat distribution [
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.ref020" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.ref025" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>
]. We hypothesize that genetic loci may contribute to the observed differences in body size/shape before age 50y and after age 50y, and that these differences may be sex-specific.</p>

. To systematically search for genetic loci that influence body size or shape in an age- and sex-specific manner, we first conducted study-specific GWA analyses for BMI and WHR
<sub>adjBMI</sub>
by four strata (men ≤50y, men >50y, women ≤50y, women >50y), and subsequently performed stratified meta-analyses (comprising up to 50,095 men ≤50y, 93,201 men >50y, 70,692 women ≤50y, and 106,497 women >50y) and derived pooled stratum-specific association results (

) for each trait. This strategy allowed us to test for three types of interactions: (1) SNPs that demonstrate age-specific effects (SNP x AGE,
<italic>P</italic>
<sub>
<italic>agediff</italic>
</sub>
), (2) SNPs that show sex-specific effects (SNP x SEX,
<italic>P</italic>
<sub>
<italic>sexdiff</italic>
</sub>
), and (3) SNPs that show age-specific effects that differ between men and women (SNP x AGE x SEX,
<italic>P</italic>
<sub>
<italic>agesexdiff</italic>
</sub>
). We first performed genome-wide screens using an
<italic>a priori</italic>
filter; i.e. we examined interaction effects on SNPs that showed evidence of an overall main-effect association (
<italic>P</italic>
<sub>
<italic>Overall</italic>
</sub>
< 10
<sup>−5</sup>
). This screen is known to have better power to identify loci with age- or sex-specific effects that are directionally concordant [

,
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.ref026" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>
]. In a second screen, we examined interaction effects for all SNPs, irrespective of their main-effect association, which allows identification of loci with opposite effect direction in older vs younger adults or in men vs women.</p>
<p>As such, 15 loci with age-specific effects for BMI and 44 loci with sex-specific effects for WHR
<sub>adjBMI</sub>
reached significance after accounting for multiple testing (controlling false-discovery rate, FDR <5%) (

meta-analysis that combined the four pooled effect estimates (one from each stratum), providing results for the

(

) allowing for simultaneous testing of overall association, SNP-by-age and SNP-by-sex interactions [

<p>In summary, this analysis suggests that our study is sufficiently powered to detect even subtle two-way interaction effects, and would certainly include effect-sizes that would be considered biologically or clinically important. While even more subtle interactions may be occurring, it appears likely that in this effort, we have detected the most important age- and sex- interactions for body size and shape.</p>

<title>Association of identified loci with other traits</title>
<p>To examine whether the age- and sex-specific effects of the identified BMI and WHR

). Only CHARGE, Global-BPGen and ICBP had previously performed GWAS searching for age-specific effects on blood pressure [
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.ref034" ref-type="bibr">34</xref>

<xref rid="pgen.1005378.s022" ref-type="supplementary-material">S6 Table</xref>

). Eight of the 44 sexually dimorphic WHR

<p>In addition, we performed a systematic search in the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) GWAS Catalog (
<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.genome.gov/gwastudies">www.genome.gov/gwastudies</ext-link>

, respectively [
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.ref035" ref-type="bibr">35</xref>
]. While no associations have been reported that corroborate the sex- or age-specificity of our findings, largely because few sex-stratified and no age-stratified genome-wide studies have been performed to date (this study is among the first ones), many main-effect associations with a wide range of traits and disease have been reported for our age- or sex-specific BMI or WHR

). The fact that disease status may correlate both with age and obesity traits may confound our age- or sex-specific findings. To reduce this possibility we repeated the meta-analyses restricted to population-based samples (excluding all case-control studies) and observed similar effect sizes compared to the original meta-analysis (

<p>To assess whether the age-group differences observed for BMI and the sex-differences observed for WHR

] in several large studies (N = up to 29,232 individuals) for all, for women and men, for the younger and older adult groups. The variance explained by the 2.5M variants was 21% for BMI and 10% for WHR

, with no significant difference between age groups for BMI (

<p>To further investigate differences between subgroups, we calculated the variance explained in the discovery data set for subsets of SNPs based on varying thresholds of overall association on BMI or WHR

(
<bold>
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.s014" ref-type="supplementary-material">S14 Fig</xref>

<p>Collectively, these observations are consistent with the results of our genome-wide search, showing that genetic variants contribute more to BMI variation in younger than in older adults and more to WHR

<title>Discussion</title>
<p>Our genome-wide search for age- and sex-specific loci in up to 320,485 adults of European ancestry identified 15 loci that were associated with BMI in an age-dependent manner, with predominantly larger effects in the younger than in the older adults. Notably, despite sufficient statistical power, we did not identify BMI-associated loci with sex-dependent effects. The largest association study on BMI
<italic>[
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.ref019" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>
]</italic>
identified two SNPs with different impact on BMI in men and women: rs543874 (
<italic>SEC16B</italic>
) and rs6091540 (
<italic>ZFP64</italic>
). While these SNPs show more modest trends towards sex-different effect (
<italic>P</italic>
<sub>
<italic>sexdiff</italic>
</sub>
= 2.4x10
<sup>-4</sup>
and 1.3x10
<sup>-4</sup>
, respectively) in our study, they were not picked up by our analysis due to the different pre-filtering strategy. In contrast to BMI and consistent with previous observations for WHR
<sub>adjBMI</sub>
, we identified 44 WHR
<sub>adjBMI</sub>
associated loci with sex-specific effects of which the majority have a larger effect in women compared with men. No age-specific WHR
<sub>adjBMI</sub>
loci were discovered.</p>
<p>Our work is the first large-scale genome-wide association study to interrogate the influence of both age and sex, simultaneously, on genetic effects for BMI and WHR
<sub>adjBMI</sub>
. While our meta-analysis had sufficient power to identify SNP-by-age or SNP-by-sex interactions, we only discovered loci influenced by age for BMI. Studies that followed up on previously established BMI loci in longitudinal and cross-sectional designs support our findings regarding the age-dependency of the majority of these loci [
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.ref038" ref-type="bibr">38</xref>
,
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.ref051" ref-type="bibr">51</xref>
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.ref057" ref-type="bibr">57</xref>
]. Indeed, for 11 of the 15 loci identified in our study, the effect on BMI was 1.5 to 3.5 times smaller in the older adults than in the younger adults, which may reflect a greater culmination of environmental and lifestyle factors on adiposity in older adults that overwhelm the genetic effects. While none of these loci were associated with birth weight, all—but one—were nominally associated with increased risk of childhood obesity. Results from a GWAS on BMI in 16-to-25 year-olds [
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.ref058" ref-type="bibr">58</xref>
] provide preliminary evidence that some loci exert their largest effects relatively early in life, whereas others become more pronounced in young adulthood. Notwithstanding the predominance of BMI loci with larger genetic effects in younger individuals we identified four loci with stronger genetic effects in older adults. Interestingly, these four loci have been previously associated with either type 2 diabetes [
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.ref032" ref-type="bibr">32</xref>
] or coronary artery disease [
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.ref059" ref-type="bibr">59</xref>
]. Sensitivity analyses precluded potential ascertainment bias introduced by disease studies in the older group. These loci may influence BMI through mechanisms that are distinct from other BMI-associated loci; mechanisms that may be more closely related to processes more directly involved in the pathogenesis obesity-related diseases. Furthermore, the directional consistent genetic effects of our loci on weight change during adult life from longitudinal studies supports our finding.</p>
<p>Indeed, the stratification into age-groups may introduce a cohort effect that implies a different genetic or environmental make-up of cohorts with older
<italic>vs</italic>
younger adults. For example, the obesogenic environment that has fueled the obesity epidemic that westernized societies have experienced during the past 30 years may have affected older individuals differently than younger individuals. To examine the contribution of such cohort effects and to obtain more accurate age-dependent effect estimates, large-scale genetic longitudinal studies would be required that measure BMI at multiple time points with individuals born across a wide range of birth years.</p>
<p>While our study provides some first insights into age-dependent genetic effects, in particular before and after menopause, more data from larger studies with longitudinal data spanning from childhood through late adulthood are desirable to accurately assess the influence of these loci on BMI across the life course. Indeed, identifying the time of life when variants affect body weight the most may help us determine the mechanisms of their influence on body weight and potential for intervention.</p>
<p>In contrast to the observations for BMI, our genome-wide interaction analyses did not identify loci with age-dependent effects for WHR
<sub>adjBMI</sub>
but there was strong novel evidence for sex-influenced effects in 44 loci. For 27 of the 44 loci, the sexual dimorphism is reported for the first time, with 17 being completely novel associations for WHR
<sub>adjBMI</sub>
. Due to increased sample size and optimized SNP selection approaches, we more than doubled the number of loci with established sex-difference for WHR
<sub>adjBMI</sub>
[
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.ref010" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>
,
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.ref018" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>
,
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.ref029" ref-type="bibr">29</xref>
]. The 44 loci divide into 11 loci with opposite effects between men and women, 28 loci with a stronger effect in women and five loci with a stronger effect in men. This is the first report to highlight loci with opposite effects and the enrichment of women-specific WHR
<sub>adjBMI</sub>
associations is consistent with previous findings.</p>
<p>We examined whether the sex-dependent effects on WHR
<sub>adjBMI</sub>
were mediated through sex-specific effects on the expression of genes located within these loci, using data available from eQTL analyses in humans and mice. Of particular interest is a region at chromosome 20q11.22 in which two independent WHR
<sub>adjBMI</sub>
lead SNPs near
<italic>PIGU</italic>
and near
<italic>EDEM2</italic>
showed independent sex-specific associations with the expression of
<italic>ACSS2</italic>
and
<italic>MYH7B</italic>
, respectively, in humans. While we found no direct evidence of sex-specific action of
<italic>ACSS2</italic>
or
<italic>MYH7B</italic>
, based on current knowledge, both proteins seem to be involved in peripheral energy metabolism. In addition, we observed that the expression of Tp53inp2 (Tumor Protein 53 Inducible Nuclear Protein 2), of which the human TP53INP2 ortholog is also located in the
<italic>PIGU</italic>
locus, had significantly higher expression levels in the inguinal fat of male than female mice. This observation is consistent with a previous study, showing that Tp53inp2 expression in white adipose tissue is significantly higher in male than in female mice [
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.ref060" ref-type="bibr">60</xref>
]. The authors speculated that this sex-specificity might be due to differences is fat distribution with females storing proportionally more fat in subcutaneous/inguinal and males more in intra-abdominal depots [
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.ref060" ref-type="bibr">60</xref>
]. Taken together, the sex-specific association with WHR

of two independent loci at chr20q11.22 may be mediated through any or all three genes for which we found sex-specific expression. While all three genes are good candidates, experimental follow up will be needed to pinpoint the causal gene(s) and to elucidate the function and sex-specificity.</p>
<p>Our broad-sense (family-based analyses) or narrow-sense (GCTA including all 2.5M variants) heritability estimates showed no difference in explained variance between men or women, or between younger and older adults for either outcome. However, when considering subsets of variants displaying overall significant associations (
<italic>P</italic>
<sub>
<italic>Overall</italic>
</sub>
< 1x10
<sup>-5</sup>
), we observed a significant difference between age- but not sex- groups for BMI, with a larger explained variance among the younger than the older adults, and between sex- but not age groups for WHR
<sub>adjBMI</sub>
, with a larger explained variance in women than in men. These observations further corroborate the predominance of age-dependent loci for BMI and sex-dependent loci for WHR
<sub>adjBMI</sub>
identified through a genome-wide screen.</p>
<p>Even though our study is likely the largest GxE and the first GxE
<sub>1</sub>
xE
<sub>2</sub>
interaction GWAS meta-analysis ever conducted, we did not detect loci with sex-specific effects for BMI (SNP x SEX), age-specific effects for WHR
<sub>adjBMI</sub>
(SNP x AGE) or three-way interactions effects (SNP x AGE x SEX). Three-way interactions are biologically plausible when considering that sex-specific effects might be exerted through hormones and that the hormonal status particularly of women changes at menopause (i.e., around the age of 50 years). This would result in a 1-stratum interaction (i.e., genetic effect only present in younger women) or a 3-strata interaction (i.e., genetic effect present in all but in younger women). While our study had sufficient power (power > 80%) to identify any kind of two-way interaction (SNP x SEX or SNP x AGE) even for effects as small as those observed for established BMI or WHR
<sub>adjBMI</sub>
loci, our power was limited specifically for the biologically plausible three-way effects (1-stratum or 3-strata-interaction). To detect subtle effects appearing in only one of the four strata will require specialized study designs or alternative approaches. We provide a detailed analytical perspective on the power to detect different interaction signals that may inform other studies aiming at detecting interaction effects.</p>
<p>We acknowledge that our power estimations are expressed as a function of previously observed explained variances, incorporating measurement error. As measurement error increases, the variance of the phenotype increases and—because the genetic effect is not affected—the explained variance of the genetic variants decreases. While a random measurement error in the dependent variable of a linear regression model would not lead to a biased effect size estimate, such an error would increase the standard errors of the effect size estimates compared to a measurement error free outcome. Under the alternative hypothesis, this results in smaller statistical power. This would imply, for our analysis, that we have potentially missed some true associations, which could have been detected with smaller measurement error.</p>
<p>With the growing sample-size and thus statistical power, measurement error is often larger than the variant-wise effect size estimate for many human traits currently under investigation in large-scale GWAS. Thus, an individual variant’s effect may not have clinical significance by itself in predictive models. However, its ultimate significance should be evaluated in the context of the biological mechanism it reveals along with other discovered variants, and the potential of such a mechanism as a therapeutic target; this is yet to be determined. In order to discover more disease-associated genetic variants, reducing measurement error by repeated and/or more accurate measurements is a viable alternative to only increasing sample size–especially when the measurement error relative to the outcome variability is high.</p>
<p>For technical reasons, variants on the X-chromosome were not screened. Yet, an interesting hypothesis is that sex-linked variants contribute to a sex-dependent architecture of body size and shape, both of which exhibit obvious sexual dimorphism. These analytic challenges are being addressed currently, and exploration of X-linked variation is warranted. Further, we have included only individuals of European-ancestry and thus cannot report on the generalizability of our findings to other race or ethnic groups. While we examined age-dependent effects by binning individuals below and above age 50 years—an average age of menopause—it is possible that modeling of age as a continuous trait might have had superior power. This approach poses more complex harmonization issues that should be addressed in a follow-up study. In addition, we recognize that environmental modifiers may further influence the effect of trait-related loci, and that some of the interactions we identified may be proxies for interactions with other environmental factors that are correlated with either age or sex.</p>
<p>In summary, our findings further distinguish the genetics of BMI from the genetics of WHR
<sub>adjBMI</sub>
. Previously described aspects of distinction include the enrichment of neural pathways versus insulin-related pathways and sexual consistency versus sexual dimorphism, respectively [
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.ref061" ref-type="bibr">61</xref>
,
<xref rid="pgen.1005378.ref062" ref-type="bibr">62</xref>
]. Our findings suggest that genetic BMI effects can change by age possibly depicting different mechanisms of genetic BMI effects that either increase or decrease during adult age. The knowledge of such mechanisms might guide the development of more effective intervention programs that are desperately sought after.</p>

<italic>P</italic>

<0.001. Second, focusing on SNPs with concordant effect size direction (CED), but different magnitude we added a marginal filter to boost power by selecting SNPs with

<0.01 and
<italic>P</italic>
<sub>
<italic>overall</italic>

<0.01. In case of CED, SNPs with stronger effect in women may fall into separate pathways from SNPs with stronger effect in men. Hence, we have derived gender-specific sex-difference P-values (P

, P

<0.01 and

.</p>
<p>For each of the eight SNP lists, leads SNPs were identified. For each lead SNP locus a target region is defined as the smallest interval containing all SNPs with LD>0.5 with the lead SNP of the locus. All genes encompassed in the target regions represent the “GWAS genes”, thereby assuming that either the lead SNP is in LD with a functional coding SNP within a gene or that the lead SNP marks a cis-acting regulatory region. We then used the following pre-defined gene sets and pathways: Gene Ontology (GO), Reactome, InWeb protein complexes, Mouse knock-out phenotypes. Gene sets were re-annotated based on co-expression in a large collection (80,000) of gene expression compendium from GEO. Then, for each gene-set the pair-wise similarity between GWAS genes was calculated and compared to that of matching sets of non-GWAS genes to assess significance of enrichment.</p>
<p>DEPICT also generated a prioritized set of genes at each locus. Briefly, genes within associated loci that are functionally similar to genes from other associated loci are the more likely candidates. DEPICT prioritizes genes in three steps: gene scoring, bias adjustment, and false discovery rate estimation. In the scoring step, the method quantifies the similarity of a given gene to genes from other associated loci. The bias adjustment step controls confounding factors that may bias the gene scores, e.g. gene length. In the last step, experiment-wide false discovery rates are estimated by repeating the scoring and bias adjustment steps 20 times based on top SNPs from pre-computed null GWAS.</p>

IPA uses publicly available databases (e.g. NHGRI GWAS Catalog, NCBI databases, KEGG) and proprietary databases of gene/protein interaction, expression, and function to identify possible pathways, networks, and overlapping functions of genes.

were adjusted for age, age

, genotyping chips (Illumina 560K, 1,000,000K, 610K), 10 principal components and 3 study centers. Residuals for BMI and WHR

<title>Genome-wide Complex Trait Analysis for proportion of variance explained</title>
<p>To explore the contribution of all common (genotyped) SNPs genome-wide to each trait of interest, BMI and WHR

<p>The table shows SNPs that meet a Bonferroni-corrected significance level (<0.05/44) for its sex-specific association with the lookup trait and no association with the lookup trait in the other sex. Only women-specific loci displayed similar patterns in the look-up data. None of the opposite effect direction loci showed opposite effects (requesting P<0.05 in both sexes) with a look-up trait.</p>
