n causal is the total number of causal SNPs (from the 11 million in the reference panel); nb, nc, and nd are the numbers associated with the “b,” “c,” and “d” Gaussians, respectively. See Table 2. These confidence intervals are likely underestimates (too narrow), due to linkage disequilibrium and a consequent over-counting of the number of degrees of freedom (independent z-scores).
