a

Chromosome and base position were based on the March 2006 genome assembly (human genome version 18 (University of California, Santa Cruz), Build 36.1 (National Center for Biotechnology Information)).

b

Frequency of the BMI- or weight-increasing allele (increasing effect defined by initially reported genome-wide association studies in populations of European ancestry; effective allele defined by nucleotide on forward strand in this study) in the Chinese community controls.

c

Change in BMI or body weight (kg) for each copy of the effective allele.

d

P values were not corrected for multiple tests.

e

Weight (kg)/height (m)2.

f

This SNP was one of the 5 SNPs directly typed using Affymetrix SNP Array 6.0 (Affymetrix, Inc., Santa Clara, California). All other SNPs were imputed using MACH 1.0 (http://www.sph.umich.edu/csg/abecasis/MACH/).

g

The tested SNPs are located on the corresponding genes: SEC16B rs10913469 (intron), PCSK1 rs6235 (missense Ser690Thr in exon 14), MTCH2 rs10838738 (intron), SH2B1 rs7498665 (missense Ala484Thr in exon 5), FTO rs9939609 (intron), and NPC1 rs1805081 (missense His215Arg in exon 5).
