\subsection{Bootstrap Sub-sampling of the Discovery Group}  \label{sec:meth-summ-bootstrapping}  A bootstrap sub-sampling method was then carried out, generating 100  subsample replicates of the discovery group, each replicate having 490  T1D cases and 364 NBS controls (i.e. retaining the same proportions as  the original 981 cases and 729 controls), sampled from the original  discovery set without replacement. The SNPs were then ranked by  $\chi^2$, and a \emph{bootstrap-consistent set} of 458 SNPs was  identified, each ranked in the top 5\% of SNPs (24501 SNPs) in every  bootstrap sub-sample (see  Figure~\ref{fig:sig-thy-bootstrap-consistency}-A). Most of these 458  SNPs had a maximum rank below 5000, whereas most of the remaining  489574 SNPs had a maximum rank above 350000 (see  Figure~\ref{fig:sig-thy-bootstrap-consistency}-B).
