  1. The number of individuals measured for each phenotype varied (n).
  2. a adjusted for age, gender, sibship, and heritage; BMI = body mass index (n = 225), %fat = percent body fat (n = 223)
  3. b adjusted for age, gender, sibship, heritage, and % body fat; Mlow = insulin sensitivity (n = 182)
  4. c adjusted for age, gender, sibship, heritage, % body fat, and Mlow; AIR = acute insulin response (n = 79 normal glucose tolerant individuals with full heritage and covariates)
