  • A1 = effective allele; A2 = alternative allele; BP = physical position; CI = confidence interval; Fca = the effective allele frequency in cases; Fcn = the effective allele frequency in controls; HLA = human leukocyte antigen; OR = odds ratio; SNP = single nucleotide polymorphism.

  • * We built the multivariate regression model using these 12 SNPs. The missing genotypes were imputed as the average values for each SNP.

  • In the final best LASSO model, the log(λ(min)) = −6.598, log(λ(1se)) = −4.738.

  • Single-variant associate was implemented in “−logistic” function in Plink version 1.07 using the respective first 20 PCs as covariates in each data set.

  • § Threshold for forward/backward stepwise regression: 0.1.
