Origin of the samples used either in the GWAS mining, or genotyped in the replication samples.

The number of cases and controls, number of markers mined/genotyped and the genotyping technology is shown. The covariate code takes into consideration the possible effect of country of origin and platform used in the genotypic analysis.*Same control samples used,**same control samples used. n.a., not applicable as the sample was not used for the merged analyses.

本研究列明了病例组与对照组的样本量、筛选/基因分型的遗传标记数量，以及所采用的基因分型技术。协变量编码已考虑样本来源国家与基因分型分析所用平台可能带来的影响。* 本研究使用了相同的对照样本，** 本研究使用了相同的对照样本。n.a. 表示不适用，因该样本未纳入合并分析。
