The pooled effect sizes with 95% CIs for a total cholesterol level in female subgroup. When the meta-analysis was performed on the three populations, it was found that the rs7566605 SNP was associated with the total cholesterol level in a dominant model, especially in the female subgroup. After performing a Bonferroni correction, a significant effect could not be found on the plasma levels of the total cholesterol (significant threshold: P < 0.0033).
