Table 1 Independent genetic associations detected with the JASS omnibus test using the standard p-value threshold of 5.10–8. Number of associations found for 15 blood and four glycemic traits in four different populations with the joint test and the univariate tests. Associations that are significant only with the joint test (new associations) are distinguished from associations that are significant with univariate tests
