The number of assessed genetic associations has grown tremendously in the past few years (1), especially with the recent advent of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) (2). However, the nonreplication of findings across multiple studies remains a documented issue for human genome epidemiology, even in the GWAS era (3, 4). It has been recommended that systematic reviews including meta-analyses be conducted to assess or adjust for factors that may contribute to the nonreplication of
