Inline graphic denotes the heritability of liability for PD, with a 95% CI provided where available. In the case of [10], confidence intervals were estimated via a bootstrap procedure based on numbers provided in the original paper. For studies that did not provide direct estimates of heritability, the relative recurrence risk ratio Inline graphic was used to estimate Inline graphic under the assumption of no shared environmental covariance (see Materials and Methods). Inline graphic denotes the maximum theoretical AUC corresponding to the given heritability of liability, assuming a disease prevalence of 0.01. Inline graphic denotes the proportion of additive genetic variance explained by a genetic profile that achieves an AUC of 0.6 (see Materials and Methods).
