A bootstrap sub-sampling method was used to reduce the initial panel
of 500k SNPs down to a set that consistently produced associations on
all bootstrap sub-samples. Sub-samples of the Type 1 Diabetes (T1D)
cases and National Blood Service (NBS) controls were used to estimate
the in-group variance of association statistics throughout the genome.
Markers that were informative and had low variance were selected as
candidate markers for a minimal informative set of 45 markers.
The final refinement step tested sets of SNPs in combination, rather
than single SNPs alone, in the hope that those sets would be able to
capture a wider range of genetic variation than any single marker (or
combination of data for single markers alone) could provide. Once a
suitable SNP set was found, that set was tested in the validation
group to confirm the utility of the set for distinguishing T1D cases
from NBS controls.

scores ($\chi^2 > 100$) were found on chromosomes 3, 6, 12, 16, and
22, but the scores were only consistently high for a region of about
10Mb in the middle of the short arm of chromosome 6 (30-40Mb from the
$5^\prime$ end of the forward strand).
