  1. aOR odds ratio; CI confidence interval; all analyses were adjusted for age, sex and geographic region of origin.
  2. bThe unit for the analysis with the continuous variable was the increment of one quintile.
  3. cThe weights used to build this score were the ORs of the associations between the individual SNPs and MM risk observed in the IMMEnSE population.
  4. dThe weights used to build this score were the ORs of the associations between the individual SNPs and MM risk observed in the literature.
