CD, Crohn's disease; IBD, inflammatory bowel disease; NHW, non-hispanic whites; UC, ulcerative colitis.

Beta coefficient: the beta value is a measure of how strongly each predictor variable (in this case genetic risk score) influences the dependent variable (in this case IBD phenotype).

R-squared: is a number that indicates the proportion of the variance in the dependent variable (IBD phenotype) that is predictable from the independent variable (genetic risk score).

Bold means significant p-values (P<0.05).
