Fig. 5. Estimates of genome-wide correlation between direct and population effects, r(δ, β).

Fig. 5

The estimate is given along with the 95% confidence interval. Direct effects are causal effects due to inheritance of alleles; population effects are estimated by standard GWASs and include direct effects, indirect effects from relatives and confounding due to population stratification and AM. We estimated the correlation between direct and population effect estimates using summary statistics derived from a sample of 39,619 individuals from the ‘White British’ subsample of the UKB where parental genotypes were imputed, using the developed methods, or observed (Methods). Phenotypes were adjusted for 40 genetic PCs before analysis. We do not show the results for age at first birth in women and ever-smoked here due to their large standard errors (see Supplementary Table 5).
