Count and fraction of pleiotropic genome-wide significant loci and genes linked to psychiatric and neurological disorders across the phenotype categories. After identifying genome-wide significant loci, physically overlapping loci were merged into grouped loci. Protein-coding genes were identified using MAGMA73. Across all phenotypes, 1,988 grouped loci and 7,829 genes were identified. The extended MHC-region (chr6: 25–37 Mb) was excluded from these analyses. Supplementary Tables 23 present the number of overlapping loci and genes for each pair of phenotypes.
