Chr., chromosome; SE, standard error, Freq., frequency.

a

SNPs in the newly identified loci associated with kidney function-related traits.

b

The allele that increased blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine or uric acid concentration or that decreased eGFRcrea was defined as allele 1 (Al) and is indicated on the basis of the forward strand of NCBI Build 36.

c

Frequency of allele 1 in the GWAS meta-analysis.

d

Effect size of allele 1 on common log-transformed values of blood urea nitrogen or serum creatinine concentration, eGFRcrea or non-transformed values of uric acid concentration.
