For each disease, progressively more extreme tails of the GPS distribution were compared with the remainder of the population in a logistic regression model with disease status as the outcome, and age, sex, the first four principal components of ancestry, and genotyping array as predictors. The breast cancer analysis was restricted to female participants.
