Independent SNP variants associated with lipid traits within single gene regions.

AA = African American; EA = European American; MAF = major allele frequency. Minor allele frequencies and R2 values all derived from ARIC (largest cohort for both African Americans and European Americans). Direction is modeled on the first allele listed in “Alleles” column. Independent SNPs (when they exist) are indicated as: * = lowest P value for locus + trait + ethnicity; ** = lowest P value at or near IBC significance (P<1×10−6) after conditioning on first SNP; *** = lowest P value at or near IBC significance (P<1×10−6) after conditioning on first two independent SNPs; etc. Locus R2 values calculated from all independently significant SNPs at the corresponding locus.
