  1. Note: In Models 2, 3, and 4, the HIrisPlex-S prediction for the combination of very pale skin with pale skin served as the reference group. Each model was adjusted for age, sex, and additional PCs. We also included the percentage of Ashkenazi (ASHK) ancestry as a covariate for the non-Hispanic white analyses.
