Variants were annotated with nearest gene and type of region, using ANNOVAR software (and genome build hg19). OR, 95% CI, and P value were all calculated by score testing. The Firth test for rs80101740 gave OR, 1.40 (95% CI, 1.22-1.60) and P = 1.56 × 10–6. Chr:Pos = chromosome:position; EAF = effect allele frequency; ncRNA = noncoding RNA; rsID = reference SNP (single-nucleotide polymorphism) ID number; UTR3 = 3' (three prime) untranslated region.
