Ranking of risk factors for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) according to their marginal inclusion probability (MIP) after exclusion of outlying and influential variants ($n=145$).

	Risk factor	Marginal inclusion probability (MIP)	Model-averaged causal effect ${\widehat{\theta }}_{\mathrm{MACE}}$
1	XL.HDL.C	0.7	0.344
2	L.HDL.C	0.229	0.087
3	HDL.D	0.087	0.022
4	XS.VLDL.TG	0.082	−0.019
5	LDL.D	0.074	−0.018
6	IDL.TG	0.066	−0.012
7	XXL.VLDL.TG	0.063	0.018
8	S.VLDL.TG	0.062	−0.014
9	Serum.TG	0.061	−0.014
10	Serum.C	0.054	−0.011

Results are given after excluding genetic variants in the APOE, FUTC, and LIPC regions. ${\widehat{\theta }}_{\mathrm{MACE}}$ is the model-averaged causal effect of a risk factor
