ΔLDL-C = change in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Δ TC = change in total cholesterol. CYP3A4 = the gene encoding cytochrome P450, family 3, subfamily A, polypeptide 4. CYP3A5 = the gene encoding cytochrome P450, family 3, subfamily A, polypeptide 5. SLCO1B1 = the gene encoding solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 1B1.

^†Adjusted for age, smoking status, genetic ancestry (first 3 multi-dimensional scaling components) and self-reported race (when applicable);

^‡also corrected for multiple comparisons with a false discovery rate of 5%. Values are presented as mean ± standard deviation. Only p-values < 0.05 are bolded.
