Nomenclature used to describe combinations of analytic strategies and subsets of regions analyzed.

Description Nomenclature
SKAT tests without any weighting based on PolyPhen-2 scores, all rare variants with MAF <0.01 N
SKAT tests with weighting based on PolyPhen-2 scores, all rare variants with MAF <0.01 P
SKAT tests only on rare variants (MAF <0.01) with benign, possibly damaging, or probably damaging PolyPhen-2 scores S
All windows All
