Lipid-associated SCARB1 common variants and haplotype regions identified in US Non-Hispanic Whites (previous study; Ref [49]) and African Blacks (this study). Lipid-associated variants with MAF ≥5 % with P-values <0.05 and haplotype regions with global P-values < 0.05 that were previously identified in US Non-Hispanic Whites (US NHWs; n = 623) are shown in top panel and those identified in African Blacks (n = 788) are shown in bottom panel (see details in Table 9 and Table 10). SCARB1 variants and haplotype regions are shown on SCARB1 gene (5′ → 3′; RefSeq: hg19, NM_005505). All SNP IDs are based on dbSNP build 139. Regions I and II that are defined based on consecutive haplotype windows with evidence of lipid-association in US NHWs (global P < 0.05; see details in Ref [49]) also show some significant associations in African Blacks (global P < 0.05; see details in Table 7 and Table 8). ApoA-I, apolipoprotein A-I; ApoB, apolipoprotein B; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; MAF, minor allele frequency; NHW, Non-Hispanic White; SNP, single nucleotide polymorphism; UTR, untranslated region
