Excluding variants that are in LD with SNPs in the LOXL1/STOML1 models did not have any effect on the association signals for six genes that were associated with XFS at genome-wide threshold in the original models: CSK, STRA6, CD276, ARID3B, MPI & TBC1D21, with the latter three in testis, for which we had no models for both LOXL1 and STOML1 (Suppl. Here, MPI is linked to exfoliation syndrome.
