Besides the data for the five identified genetic signals in the present hip fracture GWAS meta-analyses, look ups were performed in the following published GWASs: fracture at any bone site,11 falls,15 Alzheimer′s disease,14 eBMD,11 and FN-BMD and LS-BMD.12 Odds ratios (OR) for binary outcomes are given per effect allele. Betas for continuous BMD-related parameters are expressed as SD per effect allele. EA, effect allele; EAF, effect allele frequency; BMD, bone mineral density; FN, femoral neck; LS, lumbar spine; eBMD, estimated bone mineral density in the heel using ultrasound. To achieve effect estimates not confounded by a possible minor dilution by diaphyseal and distal femur fractures and lack of adjustment for height and weight in the publicly available analyses of the FinnGen cohort, we replicated the five genome wide signals for hip fracture in a meta-analyses excluding the FinnGen cohort, yielding similar effect estimates (meta-analyses results excluding FinnGen; APOE, rs429358 OR 1.16 95% CI 1.11–1.21, p = 2.5 × 10−10; ETS2, rs11088458 OR 1.11 95% CI 1.07–1.15, p = 7.4 × 10−8; in the ETS2 locus, the correlated SNP rs8130983 [r2 = 0.73] was genome-wide significant in analyses without FinnGen OR 1.12 95% CI 1.08–1.16, p = 1.1 × 10−8; SALL1, rs62028332 OR 1.16 95% CI 1.10–1.22, p = 3.1 × 10−9; REST, rs35339719 OR 1.11 95% CI 1.07–1.15, p = 3.4 × 10−8; HOXC8, rs4142680 OR 1.12 95% CI 1.08–1.16, p = 2.2 × 10−9).
Information for rs4142680 and hip fractures was only available in HUNT, UK Biobank, and UFO (8,401 cases and 501,168 controls).
Derived from Neale et al. (http://www.nealelab.is/uk-biobank/), n = 206,496 as this SNP was not present in Zheng et al.12
