a ORs and 95% CI for each haplotype were derived using logistic regression modeling haplotype probabilities and adjusting for child’s age, sex, and race/ethnicity (non-Hispanic white versus Hispanic).

b Adjustment for multiple testing was performed with 10,000 permutations of case-control status on 393 haplotype windows and using FWE rate of 0.05. An adjusted p-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

c The associated region A haplotype is located in the extended class I region and the SNPs are at chromosomal positions 29,002,323 (rs1237485), 29,006,266 (rs3118361), and 29,009,544 (rs2032502). The associated region C haplotype is located in the class II region and the SNPs are chromosomal positions 33,095,752 (rs423639), 33,095,976 (rs7754316), and 33,096,673 (rs9296068).

d Global p-values were derived based on a likelihood ratio test of association based on the null hypothesis of no effect of any haplotype at that position.
