  1. Densest regions of GWAS associations in the human genome previously highlighted in a GWAS study (based on analysis of 100 kb bins). Bin rankings are given based on simple counts of associations, and after adjusting for HapMap CEU LD (average pairwise r2 in the same region), out of 18,310 bins in the genome that contained 1 or more GWAS association. Bins with known, replicated associations ranked in the top 40 by density and/or after LD adjustment are listed.
