Association tests were performed with SKAT using the optimal.adj method and the default linear, weighted kernel, with significance level=3.57×10−3. Only coding variants with minor allele frequencies <1% were included in the analysis. Only subjects of European Ancestry were used from our cohort and controls (self-declared Caucasians compared to EA in ESP6500 and 1000genomesEUR).
