  • ‘Metabolite’: common compound name is displayed; when users click the hyperlink, they will be directed to the HMDB for detailed information on the specific metabolite.
  • ‘rsID’: this is the rsID for the input SNP; when users click the hyperlink, they will be directed to dbSNP for detailed information on the specific SNP.
  • ‘Chr’: this is the chromosome number where the input SNP is located.
  • ‘Position’: this is the chromosome position for the input SNP based on GRCh37/hg19 reference.
  • ‘A1’: the effect allele for the input SNP.
  • ‘A2’: the non-effect allele for the input SNP.
  • ‘Beta’: this is the association between the trait and the SNP per additional copy of the effect allele.
  • ‘P-value’: this is the probability of type-I error made in a hypothesis testing.
  • ‘Consequence’: the consequence of the SNP from VEP.
  • ‘Gene’: official gene symbol is displayed; when users click the hyperlink, they will be directed to the NCBI gene database.
  • ‘PMID’: this will direct the users to PubMed.
