the p-value cut-off of about five in one hundred million used in genome-wide association studies to allow for the number of independent common variants tested.

In statistical genetics, genome-wide significance threshold refers to the p-value cut-off of about five in one hundred million used in genome-wide association studies to allow for the number of independent common variants tested. This meaning comes from Pe'er (2008) in Genetic Epidemiology.[1]
