Column 2: number of genes (out of 15,770) with (1) hgene,t2 90%-CI > 0 and (2) 90%-CI > 0 for at least one MAF bin (rare, low-frequency, or common). Column 3: estimated number of genes that explain 50% of cumulative hgene,t2. Columns 4–6: numbers of 90%-CI > 0 genes with effects exclusively from common, low-frequency, or rare variants.
