a

Jonkheere-Terpestra test

b

Ordinal regression

c

Mann-Whitney U

d

Multivariable binary logistic regression for steatosis ≥ 33% vs. < 33%. rs738409 entered using dominant model (i.e. genotype CG or GG vs. CC)

e

Multivartiable binary logistic regression for more than mild portal inflammation vs. none or mild. rs738409 entered using additive model

f

Multivariable binary logistic regression for lobular inflammation ≥ 2 foci vs. < 2. rs738409 entered using dominant model

g

Multivariable binary logistic regression. rs738409 entered using dominant model

h

False discovery rate evaluated for association with SNP only. q<0.05 is significant.
