MAF, minor allele frequency; MAC, minor allele count; CI, confidence interval.

a

Effect allele for individual variants was rs769102632:A, rs1256764500:G, rs754119466:G, rs761377603:T, and rs2287960:T. For burden tests, individuals were considered to have 0 copies of the effect allele if they were homozygous for the reference allele for all variants included in the burden test, 1 copy of the effect allele if they were heterozygous for at least one variant, and 2 copies if they were homozygous for the alternate allele for at least one variant.

b

TLR7 is located on the X chromosome. Hemizygous males are included in the N of individuals with two copies of the effect allele.
