If we use the number of LD blocks (n = 61) identified by Haploview to estimate the corrected p value threshold, which becomes 0.05/61 = 8.2E-04, we would have considered only the FTO intron variants: rs1558902, rs1421085, rs12149832, rs9940128, rs9930333 and rs9939973 as the statistically significant corresponding to obesity in normal versus obese group without adjustment for sex. The gene discussed is FTO; the disease is obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency.
