aResults are ordered by chromosomal position. Results for all literature-based candidate SNPs selected for custom genotyping are shown in Supplementary material online, Table S3 and S4.

bThe average proportional LDL-C reduction in response to simvastatin 40 mg daily was 42.36% and the average proportional reduction in ApoB was 32.76%.
