Chr: chromosome; : rank based on rerank approach; : rank based on -test; SAM: rank based on SAM with ; CA: MAF of cases; CN: MAF of controls; Model: genetic model with the most significant result among allelic (ALL), dominant (DOM), recessive (REC), and additive (ADD) genetic models; OR (odds ratio) and value: estimated by the simple logistic regression under the genetic model with the most significant result (* value 0.05).
