EXT: Externalizing. Bolded rows indicate down-sampled summary statistics. EffN = sum of cohort-level effective sample sizes. The statistics reported in this table were all estimated with LD Score regression (v1.0.1) (Bulik-Sullivan et al. 2015): Heritability (h2) is on the observed scale. The genomic inflation factor, λGC, is the median χ2 statistic divided by the expected median of the χ2 distribution with 1 degree of freedom. Mean χ2 is the average χ2 statistic. Intercept is the estimated LD Score regression intercept. The ratio measures stratification bias, defined as (intercept − 1)/(mean χ2 − 1)

ADHD attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder; ALCP problematic alcohol use; CANN lifetime cannabis use; FSEX age at first sexual intercourse (reverse coded*); NSEX number of sexual partners; RISK risk tolerance; SMOK = lifetime tobacco initiation

*Age at first sex was reverse coded so as to expect a positive relationship with EXT and EXT-minus-23andMe
