  1. aFrequencies are reported with respect to the alternate allele in the combined meta-analysis data set.
  2. bEffect sizes are reported with respect to the alternate allele in the unit of SD of TSH levels.
  3. cEffect direction on TSH of the alternate allele in individual data sets: HUNT, MGI, and ThyroidOmics, respectively. Noted as ? if the variant is missing in the corresponding data set.
