a

SNPs in training set limited to those with low pairwise LD: r2 < 0.2 (n = 94,259). The P-value threshold for selecting SNPs from the training set was 0.25.

b

ORs based on PRS that has been divided by its standard deviation to generate ORs that correspond to a one standard deviation change in the PRS.

c

Generalized R2 measure for the fitted logistic model.

d

Exon and transcript regions were extended on each side by 5 kb and 15 kb, respectively.

PRS, polygenic risk score; CV, cross-validation; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; AUC, area under the curve.
