SNP-Heritability Estimates from Different GRM Methods for 2,928 Schizophrenia Cases and 4,373 Controls from the Swedish Genome-wide Association Study Imputed to 1000 Genomes
GRM Method | (SE) Observed Scale | (SE) Liability Scalea | ΔAICb |
---|---|---|---|
Standard GRM with s = −1 | 0.57 (0.05) | 0.33 (0.03) | 143.88 |
Standard GRM with s = 0 | 0.49 (0.04) | 0.28 (0.02) | 151.26 |
Speed et al. weighted GRM | 0.79 (0.10) | 0.45 (0.06) | 61.32 |
Speed et al. weighted GRM with bufferc = 1,000 | 0.79 (0.10) | 0.45 (0.06) | 62.00 |
MAF-stratified approach | 0.52 (0.05) | 0.30 (0.03) | 148.50 |
Assumes a disease prevalence of 0.01.
ΔAIC between the null model (no GRM fitted) and the full model. A high ΔAIC indicates a better fit.
In the weighting method, windows of 3,000 SNPs plus buffers of 500 SNPs were used by default in the LDAK software; in this example, the buffer size was increased to 1,000 SNPs.
