ApoA-I apolipoprotein A-I, HDL-C high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, MAF minor allele frequency, SD standard deviation, SNP single nucleotide polymorphism
Results were adjusted for covariates: sex, age, waist, current smoking (yes/no), and minutes of walking or biking to work each day (jobmin) for HDL-C; sex and age for ApoA-I
Nominally significant P-values (P < 0.05) are shown in bold
^aIncluding p70201/chr12:125279319 that was observed in one individual with an outlier value (above the mean + 3.5 SD). See details in Result Section 3.5
