CHR= chromosome, SNP = single nucleotide polymorphism, BP= base position, EA= Effective allele (frequency and odds ratios are based on this allele), Freq = frequency, INFO= information content, OR= odds ratios, L95 = lower 95% confidence interval, U95= upper 95% confidence interval, AMD=age-related macular degeneration
The INFO score for rs2230199 is less than the QC threshold we used for INFO Score for this analysis. We present the result for this SNP specifically because it is the one that has been previously reported to be associated with overall advanced AMD. Variant rs163494 upstream from C3 had an INFO score >0.6, is in linkage disequilibrium with rs2230199, and was associated with P = 1.2 × 10−11
