The 6 most significant genes identified in the recessive diplotype scan are displayed. P values are from a 2-tailed Fisher exact test.

Case+, number of iron-overload case individuals carrying recessive diplotypes with putative functional alleles; Case−, number of cases carrying at least 1 homolog at the gene without a putative functional allele; Control+, number of control individuals carrying recessive diplotypes with putative functional alleles; Control−, number of controls carrying at least 1 homolog at the gene without a putative functional allele; OR, Haldane odds ratio; SNP, number of genotyped variants per gene that were polymorphic in the samples studied.
