Chr, chromosome; ESE, exonic splicing enhancer; ESS, exonic splicing silencer; miRNA, micro Ribonucleic acid; nsSNP, non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphism; TFBS, transcription factor binding site. The functional analysis of nine SNPs was performed in 2 Chinese (CHD and CHB) and Japanese (JPT) HapMap populations using SNP Function Prediction (FuncPred) of SNPinfo (http://snpinfo.niehs.nih.gov/cgi-bin/snpinfo/snpfunc.cgi) and PolyPhen-2 (http://genetics.bwh.harvard.edu/pph2) web servers.
