Choosing of genetic variants to include in the genetic risk scores. (a) Schematic representation describing the process of choosing SNPs associated with CRP, HDL-C and TGs. Parentheses indicate the specific study population in which analyses were conducted. Numbers refer to reference papers. The r2<0.3 indicates poor SNP imputation quality. *rs1268004 was not genotyped and no HapMap or 1000 Genomes imputed data were available. See Subjects and Methods for further details.
