Lower triangular matrix shows the genetic correlation using all the SNPs in the iCOGS array, while the upper triangular matrix shows the genetic correlation after removing known associated loci. For these calculations, each case was matched to one control in a way that none of the subtypes share any controls. Analyses for mucinous and low-grade serous EOC subtypes were underpowered to yield reliable estimates Bolded estimates are significantly different from 0
