Table 2. Summary of model results for phenotypes shown in Figs 1 and 2.

The subscript in h(l)2 indicates that for the qualitative phenotypes (the first eight) the reported SNP heritability is on the liability scale. MDD: Major Depressive Disorder; CAD: coronary artery disease; AD: Alzheimer’s Disease (excluding APOE locus; *for the full autosomal reference panel, i.e., including APOE, hl2=0.15 for AD—see S1 Appendix (p. S17)); BMI: body mass index; ALS: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, restricted to chromosome 9; LDL: low-density lipoproteins; HDL: high-density lipoproteins. $In addition to the 2014 height GWAS (N = 251,747 [46]), we include here model results for the 2010 (N = 133,735 [69]) and 2018 (N = 707,868 [49]) height GWAS; there is remarkable consistency for the 2010 and 2014 GWAS despite very large differences in the sample sizes—see S1 Appendix (p. S17). Confidence intervals are in S1 Appendix (p. S12).
