  1. a Variants in 95% credible set are a local expression quantitative trait locus for this gene in retina (EyeGEx) or any tissue included in the GTEx database (cis for genes in locus); § Expression in Eye Integration data; NMD nonsense-mediated mRNA decay; OMIM Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (https://www.omim.org/); NA data not available; The gene start and end positions were extracted from the hg19 gene range list from http://www.cog-genomics.org/plink/1.9/resources
  2. The table summarizes statistical and functional evidence for 10 and seven candidate genes of the novel early AMD loci on chromosome 1 and chromosome 11, respectively. Detailed results on the individual statistical and functional analyses are shown in Tables S6-S12. For the GPS, the sum of cell entries for “annotation” and “biology” was computed per row
