, Allele 1, Trait increasing allele; P, ANOVA P-value for transcript expression level; P adj, statistical significance of genotypic association from univariate analysis of variance using a general linear model (GLM) procedure that included age as covariates and genotype, gender, ethnicity as fixed factors; WHR P-value, P-value for WHR adjusted for BMI as in GIANT data.
