Data are presented as mean, SEM, n (glucose, Sg) or geometric mean, 95% confidence intervals, n (insulin, Si, AIRg, DI) stratified by genotype for each of the three SNPs. For each genotype the risk allele was defined as the BMI-increasing allele and the data are presented as the additive model. The differences in trait by genotype were assessed by linear regression analysis coding the number of risk alleles as 0,1,2. Data for insulin, Si, AIRg and disposition index were logged for regression analysis. The beta-coefficient from the regression was exponentiated which approximates to the percentage difference. The P-value for the regression is presented and no associations reached statistical significance. The recessive and dominant models, defined according to the risk allele, are presented in Supplementary Table S2.
