a

Excluding SNPs with more than the listed number of missing genotypes.

b

After filtering on the basis of SNP missing rate.

c

Estimate of genetic variance proportional to the total phenotypic variance on the observed scale.

d

Estimate adjusted for reduced number of SNPs.

e

Transformed genetic variance proportional to the total phenotypic variance on the liability scale under the assumption that the population prevalence is 0.1%, the heritability on the liability scale explained by the SNPs.
