PMO, postmenopausal osteoporosis; CON, control; HWE, Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; Ref., referent value; * p FDR < 0.05, ** p FDR < 0.01; 1 Adjusted by confounding factors (BMI); 2 Dominant model of inheritance used due to low minor allele frequency. The values highlighted in bold indicate a significant association.
