Meta-analysis was performed using random and fixed effects models in the metafor R-package. SNP effects were modeled as additive. Estimated odds ratios with 95% CI, p-value and numbers (N) included are shown. The cut-off for a statistically significant association was p < 0.05.

The enhancer harboring rs72675451 interacts with JAK1 and RAVER2 promoters in human liver tissue (pink lines) [Citation27]. The insert shows transcription factors binding in ChIP-seq experiments from the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements project [Citation24]. The color intensity is proportional to signal strength (abbreviations at: http://tinyurl.com/watv2v7).
