Table 1. i-LDSC heritability estimates and p-values highlighting statistically significant contributions of tagged pairwise genetic interaction effects for 25 traits in the UK Biobank and BioBank Japan.

Here, LDSC heritability estimates are included as a baseline. The difference between the approaches is that the i-LDSC heritability estimates include proportions of phenotypic variation that are explained by tagged non-additive variation (see columns with estimates of ϑ). Note that all 25 traits analyzed in the UK Biobank and 23 of the 25 traits analyzed in BioBank Japan have a statistically significant amount of tagged non-additive genetic effects as detected by the cis-interaction LD score (p < 0.05). The two traits without significant tagged non-additive genetic effects in BioBank Japan were HDL (p = 0.081) and Triglyceride (p = 0.110). These traits are indicated by *. The i-LDSC p-values are related to the estimates of the ϑ coefficients which are also displayed in Figure 4.
