  1. *p-values for genes: UTS2, UGT2B17, CHI3L2 and C1orf115 which did not fulfill the requirement of normal distribution were tested using U-Mann Whitney statistics; other genes, were tested with using the t-test
  2. **Validated on blood samples (see Validation 2 section). Significant population differences (p < 0.05) are indicated in bold
