Tanner Stage Summary Data
Here we present the summary data from the genome-wide meta-analysis of Tanner Stage, a measure of sexual maturation, in subjects of European ancestry. These data include directly genotyped SNPs and SNPs imputed against the HapMap CEU data (release 22).
Phenotypes and Data
Tanner stage data on male genital development and female breast development were run separately and combined. Please see the publication for more details on each phenotype. To ensure high quality data, only SNPs for which 90% of samples were successful are included. P-values are corrected for genomic inflation.

| TANNER females | Tanner female breast stage at age 10.5 - 12.5 yrs | 6,147 | EGG_TANNER_females.v2.txt.gz |
