The study has several methodological flaws. The main is that the authors didn’t correct their p-values for multiple testing. I did the FDR estimation manually based on p-values from the supplementary tables, and the smallest FDR was approximately 0.2.
Probably this study should be taken with a pinch of salt, to say it mildly; at least it doesn’t prove anything.
