Genomic DNA was isolated from a variety of sample types, including cell line (55.2%), whole blood (43.1%), mouthwash (0.4%) and buccal swab (0.05%). Whole genome amplification (Qiagen
REPLI-g kit, Valencia, CA, USA) was used to obtain sufficient DNA for genotyping in 1.3% of samples. The genotype data implemented in this study was obtained from two fixed-content SNP panels developed by Illumina (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA), a genome-wide association (GWA) genotyping array, the
HumanOmni1-Quad_v1-0_B BeadChip, and a cardiovascular disease (CVD) SNP panel, the ITMAT-Broad-CARe array, that included
THBD and
PROCR. Genotyping quality from both arrays was excellent with individual SNP call rates > 98% and a between-panel concordance rate of 99.996% based on study duplicates (for further details please see
