  1. Abbreviations: CETP, cholesteryl ester transfer protein; EA, effect allele—the allele for which the effect on HDL-C is estimated; Freq, the frequency of effect allele.
  2. aβ is the effect of the effect allele.
  3. b Direction of the effect of the effect allele of the following cohorts: AEGS, CHS (AA), FINCAVAS, LBC1936, Lifelines, LLS, NTR-NESDA, PREVEND, PROSPER, QIMR, TRAILS, and YFS.
  4. The question marks mean that the variant was removed prior to meta-analysis due to a low imputation quality and/or expMAC <10.
