  1. HUFS indicates the Howard University Family Study; ASW, Americans of African Ancestry in SW USA; CEU, Utah Residents (CEPH) with Northern and Western European ancestry; and YRI, Yoruba in Ibadan, Nigeria.
  2. aP-value from the test of allele frequencies from the stratum of 0 African chromosomes vs. 2 African chromosomes.
  3. bInverse variance-weighted effect size across the three ancestry strata. For rs2855126, the effect size corresponds to 0.357 mg/dL per allele.
  4. cInverse variance-weighted standard error across the three ancestry strata.
  5. dAssociation p-value for the effect size and standard error combined across the three ancestry strata.
  6. eP-value from Cochran’s Q test for heterogeneity in effect size across ancestry strata.
  7. fThe percentage of heterogeneity in effect size estimates due to between-strata heterogeneity.
