Fig. 1. Genetic correlation plot summarising the results from the bivariate Linkage Disequilibrium SCore regression (LDSC) analyses.
The size of the circle is proportional to the genetic correlation estimates, going from warmer to colder colours as the direction of the effect changes from positive to negative. Bonferroni multiple testing correction was applied, correcting for the number of analyses performed (α = 0.05/(9 x 9) = 6.17e−4). AD Alzheimer’s disease, ASD autism spectrum disorder, OCD obsessive-compulsive disorder, ADHD attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, AN anorexia nervosa, BD bipolar disorder, MDD major depressive disorder, SCZ schizophrenia, TS Tourette’s syndrome, MetS metabolic syndrome, T2DM type 2 diabetes mellitus, 2hGlu glucose levels 2 h after an oral glucose challenge, BMI body mass index, FPG fasting plasma glucose, FPI fasting plasma insulin, HbA1c glycated haemoglobin, HOMA-IR homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance. ** Statistically significant bivariate genetic correlation (p < 6.17 × 10−4). * Nominally significant bivariate genetic correlation (p < 0.05).
