Loci showing sex-dimorphic effects on glycemic trait levels for the first time are also shown.

A signal was annotated as ‘UKBB’ if it reached genome-wide significance (P < 5.0 × 108) in UKBB (European ancestry) in any of the six RG models. A signal was annotated as ‘UKBB, rare’ if it reached genome-wide significance (P < 5.0 × 108) in UKBB (European ancestry) analysis for rare variants. Additional distinct signals with a region-wide threshold of P ≤ 1.0 × 105 are also reported. Effects and P values reported are from the model indicated in column ‘type/model’ (2, ASB20; 3, AS11; 4, ASB11; 5, AST20; 6, ASTB20). Heterogeneity among studies was assessed using the I2 index. P het values for the sex-dimorphic variants are from Cochran’s Q test (for sex heterogeneity representing the differences in allelic effects between sexes). Sex-dimorphic P values (2 degrees of freedom test of association assuming different effect sizes between the sexes) for the SGIP1, POP7/EPO and SLC43A2 variants were 3.2 × 108, 4.3 × 1011 and 1.5 × 108, respectively.
