SNPs showing significant associations with different IMT measurements.

Chr: chromosome, A1: coded allele, P: p-value for association with IMT, CC-IMTmean: average IMT of the common carotid in a segment excluding the first cm proximal to the bifurcation, CC-IMTmax: maximum IMT of the common carotid in a segment excluding the first cm proximal to the bifurcation, ICA-IMTmean: average IMT of the internal carotid, ICA-IMTmax: maximum IMT of the internal carotid, Bif-IMTmean: average IMT of the bifurcation, Bif-IMTmax: maximum IMT of the bifurcation, IMTmean: average IMT composite value considering the whole carotid tree derived from the segment-specific measurements, IMTmax: Maximum IMT measure considering the whole carotid tree derived from the segment-specific measurements, IMTmean-max: average of the IMTmax values for the whole carotid tree derived from the segment-specific measurements. rs4888378 was used as proxy SNP for rs2865531.

Chr：染色体（chromosome）；A1：编码等位基因（coded allele）；P：与内膜中层厚度（Intima-Media Thickness, IMT）相关的关联p值；CC-IMTmean：颈总动脉分叉处近端1 cm以外节段的平均IMT；CC-IMTmax：颈总动脉分叉处近端1 cm以外节段的最大IMT；ICA-IMTmean：颈内动脉平均IMT；ICA-IMTmax：颈内动脉最大IMT；Bif-IMTmean：颈动脉分叉处平均IMT；Bif-IMTmax：颈动脉分叉处最大IMT；IMTmean：基于各节段测量值构建的全颈动脉树平均IMT复合值；IMTmax：基于各节段测量值构建的全颈动脉树最大IMT测量值；IMTmean-max：基于各节段测量值计算的全颈动脉树IMTmax值的平均值。以rs4888378作为rs2865531的代理单核苷酸多态性（Single Nucleotide Polymorphism, SNP）。
