Replication results are presented from 23andMe where the 2D:4D ratio was reported as a relative measure [i.e. 0 = index finger longer (17.1% of research participants), 1 = index and ring finger the same length (14.0% of research participants), 2 = ring finger longer (68.9% of research participants)].

a

Average effect allele frequency (EAF) across the cohorts in each of the meta-analyses.

b

Previously known as C2orf43.

c

Genetic loci that had previously been associated with 2D:4D ratio in Medland et al. (30).

d

SNP passed genome-wide significance in the average 2D:4D ratio meta-analysis (see Supplementary Material for results).
