  1. For the locus 2p21, four independent variants were discovered by Cojo-Select analysis. For the other loci, only a single independent variant was found. For each variant, we present cytoband, best associated trait at this locus, rsID and corresponding statistics (of fixed effect meta-analysis of gene-dose effects). For the 2p21 variants, conditional effect estimates and p-values are shown. The sizes of the 99%, respectively 95% credible sets are also provided. Corresponding variants are annotated in Supplementary Data S8. Annotations are in accordance with genome-build GRCh37. Trait abbreviations are explained in Supplementary Data S18.
