A

1 is the major allele, and 2 is the minor allele.

B

Analyses were conducted in R using linear regression with standardized log10 TG adjusting for the covariates age, BMI, smoking status (smoking or not). When n was <10 in the rare allele homozygote group, the heterozygotes and rare allele homozygotes were combined.

ns indicates p-values >0.1.

C

Allelic effect size is given as the beta-coefficient (β), which represents the proportion of 1 standard deviation change.
