Subjects with GWAS genotype data available (n=2,907) had lower coronary calcification score than those without genotype data (n=2,254) (Mann-Whitney U test, P=0.01). No significant difference was observed in the distribution of any other characteristic listed in the Table between subjects with and without genotype data available.
