For all the other markers, the effects were computed relative to the allele in LD association with the + allele for ABCG2(2).
-
↵a This microsatellite was analyzed as a diallelic marker as described in the Supplemental data
-
↵b For ABCG2(2) effects were computed relative to the Y581 allele. This allele, denoted the + allele, was associated with increased protein concentration
