^aChromosomal positions are based on the NCBI Build 36 of the genome.

^bMAF, minor allele frequency.

^cThe minor allele is the effect allele, and the major allele is the reference allele.

^dThe P values for the effects of genotypes on plasma TG levels were assessed by multiple linear regression models with adjustment for age, sex and BMI.
