  1. The SNP explains 0% phenotype variation.
  2. A QTL is simulated to explain 10% phenotype variation and in LE with the SNP.
  3. Marginal phenotype distribution follows the standard normal distribution.
  4. LM_LME1: two-stage approach with LM (p-value cut-off 0.1) at first stage
  5. LM_LME2: two-stage approach with LM (p-value cut-off 0.2) at first stage
