Significados de independent loci en inglés

Results and limitations: We found 12 SNPs at seven independent loci associated with prostate-cancer-specific survival time.

Simultaneously, we reinforce the genetic basis for body weight and composition with some independent loci controlling growth at different ages.

Purpose: Recently, two independent loci located at 8q24 that contribute to prostate cancer risk in men of European origin were identified.

The defective gene has been previously assigned to chromosome 9q13-q21 by demonstration of tight linkage to the two independent loci D9S15 and D9S5.

We identified and replicated trans eQTLs for 233 SNPs (reflecting 103 independent loci) that were previously associated with complex traits at genome-wide significance.
