For haplotype designation, 1 or 2 refers to the major or minor alleles, respectively, in the following order: rs7578326, rs2943634, rs2943641, and rs2713538. (943 men, 599 women); data are expected as means (95% CI) of average IMTs of common carotid arteries, adjusted for age, sex, BMI, hypertension status, smoking status, use of lipid lowering drugs, LDL cholesterol, and CRP. Global haplotype effect n.s.; IMT, intima media thickness; n.s., not significant.
