ModuleID, module ID within phenotype; module beta, beta estimate of change in modules based on 1 unit increase in phenotype; adjusted score, score (p-value) after multiple testing correction; most significant independent SNP, SNP most significantly associated with metabolite. NA, no SNPs significantly associated; consequence, VEP annotation of variant; closest gene, closest gene to SNP as mapped in VEP; module first PC variance explained by genetic variants, adjusted r2 of linear regression model with the first PC of the module and independent mQTL SNPs. Module first PC variance explained by covariates, adjusted r2 of linear regression model with the first PC of the module and covariates (see Materials and Methods section). Metabolite variance explained by genetic variants, adjusted r2 of linear regression model with metabolite and independent mQTL SNPs. Metabolite variance explained by covariates, adjusted r2 of linear regression model with metabolite and covariates (see Materials and Methods section).
