  1. Log Var Ratios: Natural log of the ratio of the absolute deviations of cancers versus non-cancers. A Log Var Ratio of log(2) would mean that the variance of one group is twice that of the second group
  2. Models adjusted for age, smoking status (never, former, current), sex (male/female), BMI (kg/m2), cell proportions (CD8T, CD4T, NK, B cells and monocytes), five genetic PCs and study center (Arizona, Oklahoma or Dakota)
