Fig. 2. Heritability enrichment and depletion in introgressed variants across 405 traits clustered by domain.

Fig. 2

A Altai-matching introgressed variants are most enriched for dermatological traits (hair-related) and most depleted for cognitive traits (higher-level cognitive and memory functions). Each point represents heritability enrichment or depletion of one trait among Altai-matching introgressed variants. Traits with depletion less than 0.125 are plotted on the baseline for visualization. Within some domains, introgressed variants also show variable heritability enrichment. B Dividing immunologic traits into subchapters, Altai-matching introgressed variants contribute more to the heritability of WBC-related traits (1.3-fold enriched, n = 7) and less to RBC-related traits (1.5-fold depleted, n = 6) (P = 0.02, two-tailed two-sample t-test). C For skeletal traits, bone mineral density-related traits show the most enrichment for heritability in introgressed variants (1.2-fold enriched, q = 0.01, n = 12). D For reproductive traits, puberty- and menstruation-related traits are enriched for heritability (1.5-fold enriched, q = 0.1, n = 5), whereas sexual and procreation functions are depleted (1.5-fold depleted, q = 0.05, n = 7). E For psychiatric traits, tobacco use disorders trend towards enrichment (1.2-fold enriched, q = 0.23, n = 11), consistent with previous observations, while introgressed variants are depleted for contribution to personality-related functions (1.4-fold depleted, q = 0.07, n = 35). Unless otherwise specified, all q values are from two-tailed one-sample t-tests with Benjamini–Hochberg FDR correction at the 0.05 level. The domain, chapter, and subchapter-level results across all traits are similar when considering other sets of introgressed variants (Figs. S10-S12, Table S2, Supplementary Data 3–4). The boxplot centers represent medians, the white Xs denote means, the boxes are bounded by the first and third quartile, and the Tukey-style whiskers extend to a maximum of 1.5 × IQR beyond the box.
