2. Single-site association P values of 39 SCARB1 variants with minor allele frequency (MAF) ≥5% for high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and apolipoprotein B (ApoB; top), gene structure of SCARB1 (middle), and linkage disequilibrium (LD) plot of 7 variants associated with HDL-C (n=3) or ApoB (n=4; P<0.05; bottom).
Single-site association P values of 39 SCARB1 variants with minor allele frequency (MAF) ≥5% for high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and apolipoprotein B (ApoB; top), gene structure of SCARB1 (middle), and linkage disequilibrium (LD) plot of 7 variants associated with HDL-C (n=3) or ApoB (n=4; P<0.05; bottom). The −log10P values are in the Y axis. A total of 39 variants with MAF≥5% are on SCARB1 (5′→3′; RefSeq: hg19, NM_005505) in the X axis. Marker names are shown as SNP name-SNP ID (dbSNP build 139)/chromosome 12 position (for novel variants). Dash line indicates the significance threshold (P=0.05). Shades and values (r2×100) in each square of LD plot indicate pairwise LD: black indicating complete LD (r2=1), white indicating no LD (r2=0), and shade intensity indicating the degree of LD (r2 between 0 and 1). FDR indicates false discovery rate; and SNP, single nucleotide polymorphism.

3. Haplotype association plots for high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and apolipoprotein B (ApoB; top) and linkage disequilibrium (LD) structure (bottom) of 69 SCARB1 variants.
Haplotype association plots for high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and apolipoprotein B (ApoB; top) and linkage disequilibrium (LD) structure (bottom) of 69 SCARB1 variants. The −log10P values are in the Y axis. Total 69 variants are on SCARB1 (5′→3′; RefSeq: hg19, NM_005505) in the X axis. Marker names are shown as SNP name-SNP ID (dbSNP build 139)/chromosome 12 position (for novel variants). Dash line indicates the significance threshold (global P=0.05). Highlighted areas in the haplotype plots represent 4 haplotype regions significantly associated with HDL-C (regions: 1, 4) and apoB (regions: 2, 3). The degree of shades and values (r2×100) in each square of LD plot indicate pairwise LD: black indicating complete LD (r2=1), white indicating no LD (r2=0), and shade intensity indicating the degree of LD (r2 between 0 and 1). MAF indicates minor allele frequency; and SNP, single nucleotide polymorphism.
