Nobs, number of observed loci at GWAS P < 0.001.

Nexc, number of permutation where the number of loci at P < 0.001 exceeded Nobs.

Nperm, number of permutations performed.

P emp, empirical P‐value. Significant enrichment at P <0.05 is shown in bold.

PCTL, percentile, for example 5th PCTL is the number of loci with P < 0.001 in 5% of permutations.ns, not significant (P emp > 0.05).
