Bold values are significant after Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons

Comparisons made using Wilcoxon rank-sum test; +after Bonferroni adjustment for multiple tests, significant if < 0.001 (0.05/47 tests). ^For the replication cohort, after Bonferroni adjustment for multiple tests, significant if p-values < 0.003 (0.05/15 tests) were considered significant. Comparisons are bivariate between Hypolipoprotein and Normolipoprotein Clusters separately for derivation and validation cohorts
