  • SNP: single nucleotide polymorphism; MAF: minor allele frequency; FBAT: family-based association test; UTR: untranslated region. #: all SNPs showing p≤0.01 with FBAT in unexposed siblings; : dbSNP (build 37.1); +: number of informative families for FBAT; §: Chi-squared test (1 degree of freedom); ƒ: applied only to SNPs reaching or being close to the significance level of interaction (p≤3×10−3) with the FBAT homogeneity test; ##: number of siblings (only one per family using the Umbach–Weinberg method).
