NB was involved in the design of this study, analysis of the dataset and drafted this manuscript.
A statistical study of this dataset concluded with the statement that evidence for autocorrelation did not exist, which result is inconsistent with periodicity [8].
Thus, our study of the ESS dataset might have insufficient power to prove SNP associations to CMT.
Additional file 2 contains a detailed study of the different datasets and the analysis used in our study.

The data used in this study is part of the dataset that we got in 2013.
A study of the Barmer GEK dataset analyzed the age at first diagnosis for AD(H D patients.
In this follow-up study of the meta-analysis dataset, we applied logistic regression stepwise selection methods and identified 350 variants.
If the studies of the fuller dataset confirm that the average random walk discovery started to deteriorate in the 21st century, we would have a really interesting phenomenon to explain.
After the formal analysis was completed we began secondary exploratory studies of the whole dataset.
