Chr, chromosome; GTEx, Genotype-tissue expression; GWAS, genome-wide association study; PIP, posterior inclusion probability; PP, posterior probability; SNP, single nucleotide polymorphism; TWAS, transcriptome-wide association study.
Genes are novel compared with GWAS if >500 kb away from a lead GWAS variant and if their predicted expression is not correlated with GWAS variant (R2 < .1). Genes are novel compared with previous TWASs of major depression if these did not identify them as statistically significant.
PP of colocalization.
PIP estimate of causality.
