Significance of the case–control PRS difference was analysed by standard logistic regression using different P-value thresholds (PT 5 × 10−08, 1 × 10−04, 0.05 and 1). Here, P-values and Nagelkerke's R2 obtained at PT = 0.05 are reported. Results at each one of the four different P-value thresholds (PT) are available in Supplementary Table 7. Logistic regression included the first three ancestry-based principal components and a cohort indicator as covariates. We report the proportion of the phenotypic variance explained by the risk polygenic score as measured by Nagelkerke's pseudo-R2.
