We tested whether h2 could be predicted by gene expression level, gene length, GC content or several loss-of-function scores obtained from Lek et al. [22]

LOF loss-of-function, PLI probability of loss-of-function, pNull completely tolerant of loss-of-function, pRec intolerant of two loss-of-function variants
