  1. Self-reported race/ethnicity derives from multiple-choice selection of US Census–standardized terms and does not fully capture the complexity of participant racial identity.
  2. CI confidence interval, LP likely pathogenic.
  3. a65 of these are HFE p.C282Y homozygotes (NM_000410.3:c.845G>A).
