Between-study heterogeneity and random versus fixed effects calculations for polymorphisms that were considered “confirmed”

Between-study heterogeneity and random versus fixed effects calculations for polymorphisms that were considered “confirmed” in sensitivity analyses considering the discovery and replication data of each GWA as a separate study.
Figure 1.
Meta-analysis of the FTO rs8050136 variant in terms of its association with type 2 diabetes across three GWA investigations.
Each investigation is shown by the point estimate of the odds ratio and 95% confidence intervals. Also shown is the diamond of the summary effect by fixed and random effects calculations.
