MAF, minor allele frequency; 4-Androstene-3,17-dione; FDR, false discovery rate; SNP, single nucleotide polymorphism; T, total testosterone
adjusted for age (55–59, 60–64, 65–69, and 70–74); additive coding used for SNPs with minor allele as coded allele; beta is for natural log transformed serum sex hormones
