  1. aPositions were derived from dbSNP build 137.
  2. bThe minor allele frequency calculated using the data from all subjects.
  3. cLinear regression coefficient beta and standard error (SE) of the minor allele.
  4. dThe proportion of variance explained by individual SNPs calculated based on the effect of a minor allele on the standardized trait
  5. eSNPs were annotated with SNPnexus (http://snp-nexus.org/index.html).
  6. fProtein expression levels of overlapped genes in intestinal and colonic tissues according to The Human Protein Atlas (http://www.proteinatlas.org/). +++: High, ++: Medium, +: Low, –: Not detected.
  7. Chr chromosome, SNP single nucleotide polymorphism, MAF minor allele frequency.
