Phenotypic and genetic correlations for NLR and PLR levels and blood cell counts.

Phenotype Phenotypic correlation \ Genetic correlation	NLR	PLR	NC	LC	PC
NLR		0	0.223	-0.153	0
PLR	0.491^**		0	-0.486	0.457^*
NC	0.651^**	-0.073^**		0	-0.062
LC	-0.481^**	-0.678^**	0.271^**		0.644
PC	0.018	0.478^**	0.209^**	0.218^**

In this table the phenotypic correlations are given below the diagonal with grey shading. The genetic correlations are given above the diagonal. NC = neutrophil count, LC = lymphocyte count, PC = platelet count, NLR = Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio, PLR = Platelet to lymphocyte ratio. P-values indicating the significance of the correlations are given with * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.001.
