  n Effect on BMI per additional risk allele [CI 95%] p-value E. Var (%)
SNP group#1
All population 124 0.20 [0.07–0.35] 0.02 2.40
Men 82 0.14 [-0.01–0.31] 0.05* n.c
Women 61 0.28 [-0.05–0.63] 0.05 n.c
SNP group#2
All population 117 0.02 [-0.08–0.11] 0.28 n.c
Men 69 -0.03 [-0.18–0.07] 0.33 n.c
Women 53 0.04 [-0.16–0.25] 0.34 n.c

E. Var: Explained Variability

CI: Confidence Interval

BMI: Body Mass Index

SNP: Single Nucleotide Polymorphism

n.c: not calculated because of non significant association and/or low sample size
