a

MAGMA gene-based score based on empirical min P-value (Supplemental Table S3).

b

Multiple testing correction for each mouse DEG using Bonferroni correction method. Significance level: adjusted P-value<0.05 (Supplemental Table S3).

c

Published UK Biobank GWAS result of most significant SNP P-value across a gene region. This P-value is different than MAGMA empirical P-value.

d

rsID numbers for the most significant SNP identified in UK Biobank GWAS – in case where multiple significant SNP exist, the number of SNPs are listed.

e

Gene expression levels from mouse RNA-seq: down = gene expression is downregulated for old animals compared to the young ones (2y vs 2m) up = vice-versa (Supp. Table S1).

f,g

These genes have the same most significant GWAS SNPs with WNT16(f*) and MGP(g*) and will not be considered for further mechanistic study.
