Brain morphometric endophenotypes selected for each brain signature along with variable loadings on that dimension/signature. For brain signature 1, all negative loading reflect IBS >HC. For brain signature 2, negative loading reflect HC > IBS. Variable of importance to the prediction coefficients (VIP) greater than one indicate endophentotypes that are considered particularly important for the classification. Please note these VIP values change for variables comprising the first component when considering the second component due to the additional variance explained.

Morphometric endophenotype indicates whether the measure was mean curvature,(MC), Volume (V), cortical thickness (CT), or surface area (SA). The first brain signature explained 16% of the variability and the second explained an additional 20% variance in classification of IBS based on morphometric phenotype data.
