hg,local,GWAS2 is the same as hg,local,GWAS2 except that GWAS index SNPs were excluded from the computation. In Table S2, we report hg,local,GWAS2, which we obtained by excluding all GWAS hits. We also report estimates of familial heritability (hpub2) obtained from twin or family studies. At the bottom of the table, we list case-control traits where our estimate of hg2 is biased as a result of ascertainment.

a

Similar to Finucane et al.,7 we define enrichment as the ratio between the fraction of hg2 attributable to hg,local,GWAS2 and the genomic fraction covered by these loci. We obtained SEs by a jackknife over the loci.

b

Inflammatory bowel disease refers to the union of Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis.
