Why it matters in GWAS

The plural form appears frequently in GWAS methods and QC discussions (for example, "PARs vs non-PAR X"), so keeping a dedicated entry improves discoverability and consistent interpretation of sex-chromosome analyses.

Example usage

"We applied separate QC thresholds in PARs and non-PAR X regions before association testing."

Node order. The current term is first. Next come every page linked from Related terms, in the same top-to-bottom order as that list. Then new terms appear in two-hop layers: for each of those direct neighbors (in that same order), their related terms are appended if not already listed. A third pass does the same for two-hop nodes. The walk stops when a fixed maximum number of nodes is reached.
