P(H1) – prior probability of a genetic effect.

P(H1|i,s) – posterior probability of a genetic effect given a significant primary analysis signal increasing in significance following fine-mapping.

P(H1|s) – posterior probability of a genetic effect given a significant primary analysis signal.

PC (%) – proportional change in posterior probability of a genetic effect, given by 100[P(H1|i,s)–P(H1|s)]/P(H1|s).
