Supplemental Table S1. Sensitivity analysis of putatively associated variants in the discovery cohort. Inclusion of all cases results in generally similar test statistics and effect size estimates (odds ratio, OR) as analyses restricted to only cases with causality of “probable” or greater (defined as DILIN causality score of “probable”, “very likely”, or “definite”, or a RUCAM score ≥ 6).

Supplemental Table S2. Sensitivity analysis of putatively associated variants in the replication cohort. Analyses restricted to only cases with causality of “probable” or greater do not improve the associations compared with tests including all cases in the replication cohort. The majority of cases without a score of probable or greater had not yet undergone causality assessment at the time of writing.

Supplemental Table S3. Top hits from GWAS and SNP subset analyses, restricted to all DILI cases with time to onset greater than the median of 35 days, for cases not due to flucloxacillin or amoxicillin/clavulanate (n = 213).


Supplemental Figure S4. Distribution of p-values for SNPs in the extended MHC region vs. all other autosomal regions. (A), observed p-value distribution in the MHC region; (B), observed p-value distribution among non-MHC autosomal SNPs; (C), distribution of the median p-value in the MHC region among 1000 permutations. The median p-value in the MHC region in the observed (unpermuted) dataset was 0.381, yielding an empirical p-value for the difference in MHC association vs. expectation under the null of p=0.015.

Supplemental Table S4. Sensitivity analysis of the association between rs3740065 (near ABCC2) and risk of DILI due to any drug. Note that the association statistics remain static as the sample is reduced to the earlier-onset cases, despite lower sample size, and the estimate of effect size increases with decreased time to onset, consistent with the expectation of a pharmacokinetic risk factor for DILI.

Also shown are the QQ plots from the restricted ADME (C) and autoimmune (D) SNP subsets. The contribution of flucloxacillin and amoxicillin/clavulanate-DILI cases to the analysis explains the association signal in the MHC region on chromosome 6 (c.f. Figure S5).
