*

Gene transcript levels associated with SNP genotype (expression QTL) in the indicated tissue(s).

†

Genes in pathways identified as enriched by GRAIL analysis.

‡

Strongest candidate genes identified based on manual literature review.

§

Traits associated at P < 5 × 10−8 in GWAS lookups or in the GWAS catalog using the index SNP or a proxy in high linkage disequilibrium (LD) (r2 > 0.7), and the genes(s) named in those reports.

∥

Nonsynonymous variants (nsSNPs) and copy number variants (CNVs) with tag SNPs in high LD with index SNP based on a 1000 Genomes CEU reference panel. DEPICT analysis was not performed for loci associated with these traits. Chr, Chromosome; WCadjBMI, waist circumference adjusted for body mass index (BMI); HIPadjBMI, hip circumference adjusted for BMI; WHR, waist-to-hip ratio.
