For each locus, the evaluation of significance was informed by the significance of locus-level heterogeneity. The p-value of locus-level heterogeneity for C~B~DRB1 genotype evaluations is 7.07E−25, and that of locus-level heterogeneity for A~DRB1~DQB1 genotype evaluations is 3.50E−23. P-values were not corrected for loci that displayed significant locus-level heterogeneity. Significant p-values are indicated with asterisks. NS: Not Significant.
