Note. SNP = single nucleotide polymorphism in the regression equation; Gene = gene location of the SNP (see Table 1 for gene function descriptions); Chr = chromosome location of the SNP; Pos (bp) = position on the chromosome (in base pairs) of the SNP; Function = SNP function; UTR-3’ = SNP located in an untranslated region (UTR) at the 3’ end of the gene that may affect the stability, localization, and/or efficiency of messenger RNA (mRNA) translation of the gene; Intron = non-coding SNP; Missense = missense mutation, in which each allele produces a different amino acid; Allele = minor allele (i.e. less frequent nucleotide) for which the regression effect, B, is reported; MAF = minor allele frequency; B = regression coefficient for the effect of the SNP; Z = z-score for the regression coefficient (calculated as B / std.error(B)); p = two-tailed p-value for B; FDR = False Discovery Rate (see Equation 1 in text).
