Effect size (measured in months) is generated from a multivariable linear regression model where “age at diagnosis” is the dependent variable, adjusting for: sex, income, %African ancestry, hyperdiploidy, and TEL-AML1 status. Positive values indicate older age at diagnosis with an increasing number of risk alleles or with each 20% increase in % ancestry. Negative values indicate younger age at diagnosis with an increasing number of risk alleles or with each 20% increase in Native American or European ancestry. P-values are two-sided and are derived from these regression models (Ho: Beta=0).
