  1. Results from ONC_CVD are compared*. The p-values for the top variants from the present study are shown (P present) as well as the p-values for the same variant in the imputed data (P Ahsan for WGS top variant). The most significant SNV from the previous study and corresponding p-value is also shown, and its LD (R2) with the most significant SNV from the present study. The comparisons have been filtered the same way as the present study: only biallelic variants and variants not located in a spanning deletion are compared.
  2. In hg19 coordinates.
  3. Not significant in Ahsan et al. (P > 4.2e-09).
  4. §R2 with WGS top variant.
  5. *All top variants and P-values are from the analyses of the ONC_CVD panel, except for CCL19 that is from INF.
  6. **Did not pass imputation QC or were not present in the reference panel used for the imputations.
