Table 1 |. Gene-centric noncoding analysis results of both unconditional analysis and analysis conditional on known common and low-frequency variants.

21,015 discovery samples and 9,123 replication samples from the NHLBI Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine (TOPMed) program are considered in the analysis. Results for the conditionally significant genes (unconditional STAAR-O P < 3.57 × 10−7 and conditional STAAR-O P < 1.16 × 10−3 for 7 different noncoding masks across protein-coding genes; unconditional STAAR-O P < 2.50 × 10−6 and conditional STAAR-O P < 1.16 × 10−3 for ncRNA genes) using discovery samples are presented in the table. The unconditional significant thresholds for both protein-coding genes of 7 different noncoding masks and ncRNA genes were defined by the multiple comparisons using the Bonferroni correction, that is, 0.05/(20,000 × 7) = 3.57 × 10−7 and 0.05/20,000 = 2.50 × 10−6. STAAR-O is a two-sided test. Chr (Chromosome); Category (Functional category); #SNV (Number of rare variants (MAF < 1%) of the particular functional category in the gene); STAAR-O (STAAR-O P value); HDL-C (High-density lipoprotein cholesterol); LDL-C (Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol); TG (Triglycerides); TC (Total cholesterol); Variants Adjusted (Adjusted variants in conditional analysis); n/a, no variant adjusted in the conditional analysis.
