Fig 1 Manhattan plots for main-effect analyses of IgE sensitization to grass and AR. Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology 2011 128, 996-1005DOI: (10.1016/j.jaci.2011.08.030) Copyright © 2011 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Terms and Conditions
Fig 2 Concordance in statistical significance between AR and grass sensitization for the selected loci. Each loci is represented by the SNP with the lowest P value. The direction of association is consistent between these 2 phenotypes for the loci shown here (see Table II).
