Figure 4

Vertical Format for PheWAS-View Plots. PheWAS-View allows results to be plotted in a vertical format. Figure 4 shows the same data used in Figure 2, plotted in a vertical format through using the parameter –a. Compared to previous figures in this manuscript, the phenotypes are now listed along the y-axis, and the x-axis represents –log10(p-value) of the tests of association. In addition, using the parameter –B will plot the SNP identifier as well as direction of genetic effect for the association (+ for positive direction of effect, - for negative) for the most significant association for each phenotype listed. Plotting PheWAS results this way facilitates the reading of phenotype descriptions, while still allowing the most significant SNP-phenotype results to be inspected visually.
