We tested three different graphs with different sets of European panels, containing either low (EuropeA), medium (EuropeB), or high (EuropeC) EEF ancestry. We also computed P-values from 1000 samples in which we randomly switched the sign of effect size estimates, to simulate neutrality while preserving the genetic architecture of the traits (). Additionally, we computed P-values from an empirical null distribution produced using 1000 samples, each containing SNPs that were frequency-matched to the trait-associated SNPs, using their allele frequency in Europeans, to account for each GWAS’s ascertainment scheme ().
