Multiple linear regression model for the association between variants and TG levels adjusting for covariates.

Variable B1 95% confidence interval p value
LPL-protective variant combination2 0.920 0.895 - 0.947 <0.0001
LPL-D9N3 1.142 1.000 - 1.303 0.048
LPL-N291S3 1.198 1.048 - 1.369 <0.01
APOA5-S19W3 1.128 1.054 - 1.206 <0.001
APOA5- (-1131T/C)3 1.154 1.075 - 1.239 <0.0001
APOE-ε23 1.038 0.966 - 1.115 0.309

Statistical analysis was performed excluding one subject with TG > 11.29 mmol/L and those taking lipid lowering drugs (n = 1731). R2 of the model 0.30.

1Multiplicative coefficient of the effect of each variant, obtained after undoing logarithmic transformation.

2One protective variant or two protective variants versus reference (no protective variants).

3Carriers of the minor allele (homozygous and heterozygous) versus reference (homozygous for the frequent allele)
