Summary of SNP associations with 4 lipid traits in our multi-ethnic study samples§.

§Significant p-values (bold. ‘Log10’ transformation was used for HDL-C and TG levels in Non-Hispanic Whites (NHWs) and Hispanics, ‘natural log’ transformation for TC and TG levels in African Blacks, and ‘square root’ transformation for LDL-C and HDL-C levels in African Blacks. The genotypic effects were modeled as the additive effect of the population-specific minor allele in each ethnic group (minor alleles that differed from those in NHWs are shown in italics). The results were adjusted for relevant covariates in each ethnic group. *N.A: These SNPs were not analyzed in African Blacks among which they did not have sufficient minor allele frequency (MAF). Six SNPs showed lower genotyping call rate (underlined) while the remaining SNPs had high call rates in all ethnic groups. ‡This SNP showed low rate (0.5%) of discrepancy among replicates included in genotyping.
