a

Two SNPs in previously undescribed loci are associated with fasting insulin at genome-wide significance, i.e., p < 5 × 10–8 in AA individuals or with logBF > 6 in trans-ethnic meta-analysis.

b

Trait-raising allele/other allele in the sample of African ancestry.

c

Association results from the samples of African ancestry based on the joint analysis of samples from stage 1 and stage 2.

d

NAA: the sample size of African ancestry; NEA: the sample size of European ancestry; Ntotal: total sample size of EA and AA.

e

Frequency of effect allele (i.e., AA trait-raising allele).

f

Effect of AA trait-raising allele ([pmol/L] per trait-raising allele).

g

Association analysis result is unavailable in MAGIC EA samples because the original MAGIC10 effort analyzed only autosomal variants.
