Chronic periodontitis: mean interproximal attachment loss continuous trait.

Chr, chromosomal; HCHS/SOL, Hispanic Community Health Study / Study of Latinos; MAF, minor allele frequency; SNP, single-nucleotide polymorphism.

a

Chromosome positions are based on GRCh38.p2 annotation release 107.

b

Per minor allele effect size based on the linear mixed additive genetic model; standard error in parentheses.

c

Imputation quality metric based on the ratio of observed to expected variance of imputed dosage.

d

Predicted as an expression quantitative trait locus in the SCAN database: RAB37 (CEU) P = 7 × 10−5; FSCN1 (YRI) P = 10−4. SNP in linkage disequilibrium with rs1334772 (P = 1.1 × 10−6): D′ = 0.94, r2 = 0.837 and rs1891657 (P = 3.6 × 10−6): D′ = 0.89, r2 = 0.746.

e

SNP in linkage disequilibrium with rs13373934 (P = 4.5 × 10−7): D′ = 1.0, r2 = 1.000 is a missense intron variant of ASH1L. Ser→Pro change, predicted to be “benign” by PolyPhen-2 with HumDiv score 0.107 (sensitivity: 0.93, specificity: 0.86).
