Haplotype analysis of variants rs2735940 and rs2853669 and the risk of peripheral arterial disease.

*Haplotype analysis was conducted on the basis of the Stochastic-EM algorithm using THESIAS program. Haplotypes possess 2 loci rs2735940 and rs2853669 from left to right.†Multivariable model I: Adjustment for conventional risk factors, including body mass index, triglycerides, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, blood glucose, blood pressure, smoking, alcohol intake, diabetes, history of hypertension, and medication treatment.‡Multivariable model II: Adjustment for telomere lengths, except for those covariates mentioned in model I.
