a.

Number of events and at risk by genotype is available in Supplemental Appendix p 9

b.

Additive genetic models (HR presented per risk allele), unless specified. All models were adjusted for: donor and recipient age, GvHD prophylaxis, use of total body irradiation, and stratified by graft type

c.

348/404 samples were also genotyped in the DBMT (overlapping set)

d.

IFNL4 genotype risk allele is defined as the presence of rs368234815-dG allele in NCI set and rs12979860-T allele in DBMT
