Table 4. Relative importance of ethnicity versus genetic ancestry for explaining variation in serum creatinine levels.
Model x:
| Predictor | Relative Importance1 |
|---|---|
| Ethnicity | 4.96 (±0.59) |
| Genetic Ancestry (all) | 9.06 |
| African Ancestry | 6.36 (±1.29) |
| East Asian Ancestry | 1.29 (±0.32) |
| European Ancestry | 0.86 (±0.16) |
| South Asian Ancestry | 0.59 (±0.11) |

Percent of variation (± 95% CI) in serum creatinine levels explained by each predictor. Note that genetic ancestry (all) is the sum of variation across all four ancestry components.
