Table 2: Genetic and phenotypic correlations between GWAS, GWAX and LT-FH phenotypes.

We report the genetic correlation (estimated using BOLT-REML) and phenotypic correlation between each pair of GWAS, GWAX and LT-FH phenotypes. BOLT-REML estimates are constrained to be ≤ 1.00. Standard errors of genetic correlation estimates are reported in parentheses. Standard errors of phenotypic correlation estimates are ≤ 0.003 in each case.
