MAF: minor allele frequency; OR: odds ratio; 95% CI: 95% confidence interval. 1 value and odds ratio were derived by logistic regression adjusted with sex and principal components (PCs) from the GWAS discovery result. 2 values were calculated by Fisher’s exact test for the risk allele. 3Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE); values for 888 controls from the general population. 4: value of the heterogeneity test between studies.
