Novel variants are defined as those not reaching significance criteria in previous analysis2 (the RTEL1 and OBFC1 signals have previously shown a possible association – see discussion). Effect sizes and directions are given in terms of the allele that increases risk of IPF. Chr=Chromosome. Position is based on genetic build 37. Annotation obtained from Variant Effect Predictor12. EAF=Effect allele frequency calculated across the five studies. The “Direction” column shows the direction of the beta in each of the five individual studies (+ means beta>0, − means beta<0). The “Study p≤0.05” column denotes which individual studies the variant reached nominal significance in (Y means p≤0.05, N means p>0.05). Both the direction and study p<0.05 are given in the order UK, Colorado, Chicago, UUS and then Genentech. OR=Odds ratio. CI=Confidence interval. PPR=posterior probability of replicability calculated using MAMBA13.

a

The signal at KNL1 is independent of the previously reported nearby signal in the IVD gene.

b

The RTEL1 and STMN3 signals are independent of each other.
