Supplementary table 3 Estimated haplotype frequencies of the SNPs in the IFNGR2 region

Frequency / Permutation
Haplotype / Controls / Tuberculosis / P value
H1 / CCCGACGTAT / 0.375 / 0.397 / NS
H2 / ATCGGCATGC / 0.217 / 0.164 / 0.034
H3 / ATTAGCACAT / 0.140 / 0.148 / NS
H4 / ATTAGCATAT / 0.127 / 0.132 / NS
H5 / ATTAGTACAT / 0.086 / 0.095 / NS

Haplotypes (H) 1-5 with frequencies > 0.02 were estimated in 273 patients and in 506 controls using 10 SNPs (rs8134145, rs8126756, rs17882748, rs2284553, rs2268241, rs2300372, rs9808753, rs2834211, rs2834213, rs1059293) of IFNGR2. P values by permutation test with 100,000 replications by Haploview are shown. Bold-underlined letters indicates promoter haplotype ATC, intron 2 G and 3’ UTR C. NS: not significant

Supplementary figure 1 Pairwise linkage disequilibrium (LD) between associated alleles of microsatellite markers and 32 SNPs

Figure legend

(Upper panel) Pairwise LD (D’ and r2) between associated alleles of microsatellite markers and 32 SNPs are shown. In the calculation of pairwise LD, microsatellite alleles except for one showing the smallest P value were grouped, and the microsatellite locus was regarded as having only two alleles. Both IFNGR2-MS1-325 allele and IFNGR2- MS2-252 allele were in strong LD with rs2834213 and rs1059293, and were in the same LD block.

(Lower panel) Pairwise LD (D’) between 32 SNPs and 2 microsatellite markers determined by the Haploview program are shown.
