Definition of abbreviations: ARDS = acute respiratory distress syndrome; CI = confidence interval; HWE = Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium; MAF = minor allele frequency; OR = odds ratio; SNP = single-nucleotide polymorphism.

The SNPs meeting the stage I threshold for significance were tested in the stage II population (Harborview trauma), genotyped with the human 610-quad platform. SNPs are listed depending on whether their association with ARDS was determined by direct genotyping or by imputation using European haplotypes in 1000 Genomes (32). The α level to declare significance in stage II was 0.05/12 SNPs, or ≤0.0042. Only one SNP met this threshold: rs315952 (bold text) in IL1RN. By imputation, rs380092, also in IL1RN and with strong linkage disequilibrium with rs315952 (r2 = 0.73), showed a marginal ARDS association that did not survive adjustment for multiple comparison testing. HWE P values are the result of the chi-square statistic testing HWE proportions for the entire stage II population.
