Outcome: RGR			Result
	Fixed effect	AIC	β (SE)	P-value
1	none	62.8	–	–
2	Sex (reference = female)	61.9		0.08
2	- male		−0.14 (0.08)
3	Age	64.3	−0.002 (0.003)	0.48
4	Mutation (reference = large deletion)	69.0		0.57
	- nonsense		0.05 (0.11)
	- missense		0.24 (0.12)
	- frameshift		0.05 (0.14)
	- splice		0.09 (0.15)

Models 1 to 4 were separately fitted. Reported effects (SEs) relate to modeled fixed effect variable. P-values were obtained from χ²-test comparing the respective model to model 1. AIC, Akaike’s information criterion of model fit
