MAF: minor allele frequency; numbers of genotypes (11, 12, 22) according to alleles from Table 3. n. a.: not applicable due to low counts of minor allele for χ2.
Model 1: Age was used as the time scale and sex and geographic region were adjusted for. Model 2: Sex, geographic region, HDL-total cholesterol ratio, systolic blood pressure, prevalent diabetes, BMI,
SNPs allocated to group 1, 2 or 3 based on previously published evidence. The SNPs† in group 2 do not reach genome-wide significance in Stahl et al used in this meta-analysis [6], but have in prior pu
