D45, I48 and R31 refer to ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes, Median T2star is a measurement from a brain MRI, 6 mm weak meridian (right) is from keratometry of the right eye. When multiple phenotypes and/or models (coding, LoF) were significantly associated with a gene, only the lead phenotype and model are shown. When multiple genes were associated with a trait, only the top gene is shown. All results can be found in Supplementary Data 2

LMM linear mixed model, FET Fisher’s exact test, LoF loss of function, HDL high density lipoprotein, LDL low density lipoprotein, SHBG sex hormone binding globulin

aAdditional genes associated with alkaline phosphatase include GPLD1, ASGR1, and ABCB11; with HDL cholesterol include LCAT, CETP, and SCARB1; with LDL direct include PCSK9; with platelet count include MPL and ITGA2B; with urate include SLC2A9; and with mean platelet volume include IQGAP2, GFI1B, and GP1BA

bFor binary traits, the information shown is case n (%)/ctrl n (%)

cAlthough this phenotype was included in the meta-analysis, this particular gene did not have carriers in the HNP cohort
