Table 1.

Array heritability estimated from iCOGS array for invasive EOC, stratified by histotypes

EOC histotype N case/control (relatedness <0.1) K hg2% (95% CI)
High-grade serous 4121/21 663
(4098/21 242)
0.0055 8.8 (6.8–10.8)
Low-grade serous 363/21 663
(362/21 242)
0.0005 0.0 (0–9.3)
Endometrioid 1350/21 663
(1342/21 242)
0.001 3.2 (0.06–6.3)
Mucinous 662/21 663
(658/21 242)
0.0005 0.0 (0–5.4)
Clear cell 621/21 663
(620/21 242)
0.0005 6.7 (0.3–13.1)
All invasive EOC 10 065/21 663
(10 014/21 242)
0.009 5.6 (4.4–6.7)

N case/control (relatedness <0.1): case/control sample size, and case/control sample size restricting pairwise genetic relatedness between individuals <0.1 (see the Supplementary Material, Table S3, for comparison of results using the cut-off of 0.05); K: disease prevalence of EOC histotype, defined as the lifetime risk of invasive ovarian cancer (∼0.9%, see the Materials and Methods section) times the fraction of the corresponding EOC histotype; hg2 (95% CI): array heritability and its 95% confidence intervals that were estimated using ovarian cancer iCOGS data, while adjusting for 10 PCs and study sites.
