Significance of the case-control PRS difference was analysed by standard logistic regression using different P value thresholds (PT 5×10-08, 1×10-04, 0.05 and 1). Here, P values and Nagelkerke’s R2 obtained at PT = 0.05 are reported. Results at each one of the four different PT are available in Table S7. Logistic regression included the first three ancestry based principal components and a cohort indicator as covariates. We report the proportion of the phenotypic variance explained by the risk polygenic score as measured by Nagelkerke’s pseudo R2
