Columns included in full database download ONLY: 
HUPfieldNULL field for release date in Entrez
SNPid(dbSNP134)The rsID in dbSNP build134 ("rs" not included)

TitleManuscript title
(Multiple) Ancestry sample size columnsSample size counts in discovery and replication for ancestry groups. Where blank assumed to be 0. "Mixed" indicates a mixture of ancestries was reported but the proportion in each group was unclear. "Unspecified" means no ancestry was clearly specified for samples
EqtlMethMetabStudyIndicates if a result is from an eQTL, methylation QTL or metabolomics GWAS (1=yes) and thus not included in web interface queries
