Odds ratios (OR) and P-values were calculated by comparing those within the top 0.5, 5, and 20% of the PRS distribution, to the remainder of the PRS distribution in a logistic regression model adjusted for sex and the first four principal components of ancestry. The threshold for statistical significance after Bonferroni correction was set to α = 1.67 x 10−2 (three tests per cohort). CI = confidence interval; EUR = European.
