BMI x rs12999125: refers to interaction odds ratio obtained from logistic regression model where logit(Fibroids) ~ local ancestry at rs12999125 (0, 1 or 2 European ancestry copies) + BMI (continuous) + BMI x local ancestry at rs12999125 + age + 10 principal components;

BMI category: refers to association between local ancestry at that marker and uterine fibroids without considering interaction with BMI across all individuals (overall), and among individuals with BMI <25 kg/m2, 25–30 kg/m2 or >30kg/m2

*Relevant estimates form the interaction model including those for BMI, local ancestry at rs6457825, and interaction of BMI x local ancestry at rs6457825 for BioVU and CARDIA are presented in S4 Table
