RF: Reference allele. The values represented include the odds ratio, confidence interval and p values as evaluated by multivariate logistic regression in 511 Kuwaiti individuals. It shows the mentioned variants to be a significant

^*(p < 0.05) independent predictive factor when controlling for age, sex and BMI for both TG and VLDL. Significant values (p < 0.05) are highlighted.
