aAdditional covariate added to the logistic regression model.

bAnalyses are based on a logistic regression model using the PheWAS phenotype cardiomegaly as the dependent variable and specified independent variable. All independent variables were set to have a standard deviation of 1. All models were additionally adjusted for age, sex and 5 principal components.

cThe data set used to develop the PRS. There were 2929 cases and 3416 controls for cardiomegaly.

dCases (n = 2,624) and controls (n = 16,682) for the cardiomegaly phenotype that were not part of the derivation set.

eCases (n = 5,982) and controls (n = 21,198) for the cardiomegaly phenotype that were not part of the derivation set.
