a. Interaction was modeled between BMI-categories (0 = < 25 kg/m2; 1 = 25–30 kg/m2; 2 = > 30 kg/m2) and SNP, OR for this term represents the change in odds ratio for SNP in relation to fibroids across each category of BMI.

b. Interaction was modeled between standardized BMI (centered and divided by standard deviation) x SNP, OR for this term represents the change in odds ratio for SNP in relation to fibroids across each standard deviation increase in BMI

BMI Category: refers to associations between genetic variant and uterine fibroids among individuals with BMI <25 kg/m2, 25–30 kg/m2 or >30kg/m2
