  1. Association testing between AMY1 CN and inverse normalized adiposity traits was performed in 1518 Arabs and 948 Persians from Qatar using PopPAnTe, which takes into account individuals’ kinship, age, sex and the first 10 PCs from genome-wide data as covariates. The table reports the number of samples included in the tested datasets (N), the effect sizes (β) with their standard errors (SE), and the association p-values (P).
