Decision tree to find the tagSNP and gene for the GWAS results based on linkage disequilibrium values. The tagSNP is at the terminal branch of the tree, SNP1 is the reference SNP, SNP2 Block is a block of SNPs linked to SNP1 (R2 > 0.8), and SNP2 is a found SNP within the SNP2 Block based on the decisions made by the algorithm. The values of the association effect and significance (p) were obtained from the GWAS. Once a tagSNP was identified, it was assumed that the gene(s) causing the association was within 1 Kb
