A one-sided Wilcoxon rank sum test revealed CAD-associated SNPs in high LD with the lactase persistence SNP had smaller p-values from the one-sided test that beta > 0, compared to SNPs not in high LD with lactase persistence (p = 2.545e-11, Figure 2B, Table 1), suggesting a possible increase in odds of coronary artery disease associated with SNPs in LD with the LP allele, relative to those not in LD. This evidence concerns the gene LCT and coronary artery disorder.
