aUsing parameters from the top 10 (that is, in terms of P value) uncorrelated SNPs in the CHARGE AF meta-analysis; in the table are listed the range of OR and allele frequency [22]. Variables included in the clinical risk score were: age, weight, height, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), diabetes, medication for hypertension, history of congestive heart failure, history of myocardial infarction, smoking status, and race. Disease risk is 4% and population size is 200,000 for rare variants scenarios and 20,000 for common variants scenarios. Results are median values from 200 simulations.

AUC, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve; ΔAUC, change in AUC between the model with and without genetic variants; IDI, integrated discrimination improvement; NRI, net reclassification improvement (cutoffs 2.5% and 5%); OR, odds ratio.
