For SNPs that are subject to CNV, several genotypes are pooled as indicated to combine all the different genotypes with the same copy number of 1 of the variants. For the tri-allelic haplotypes in FCGR2C and FCGR3B, this is done for two of the haplotypes separately. Fisher exact test was calculated on genotype frequencies as shown in the table. A single logistic regression analysis was performed for each (presumed) risk allele in an additive model. A multiple logistic regression analysis was performed on all variants (except the FCGR2C promoter haplotypes, which were left out of the multiple logistic regression analysis because of the near perfect LD with the classic FCGR2C-ORF haplotype) and on FCGR2A-H131R and classic FCGR2C-ORF alone. P-values < 0.05 are shown in bold.
