GWAS summary data tables

We are releasing the summary statistics from our genome-wide association study (GWAS) of tonsillectomy (1464 cases and 12 019 controls of Danish ancestry). The file includes 7,855,469 (MAF>1%) directly genotyped or imputed SNPs or indels to the 1000G phase 1 (SNPTEST info score > 0.8).

The file contains:

• CHR – chromosome of the genetic variant (hg19 assembly)
• SNP - dbSNP v146 variant ID
• BP – base-pair position of the genetic variant (hg19 assembly)
• A1 – effect allele
• A2 – other allele
• OR- odds-ratio for the effect allele
• SE – standard error
• P – p-value for the logistic regression
