GWAS summary stats (tab-delimited, bgzipped, genome build 38, filtered to INFO > 0.6, tabix index files included) are named as {endpoint}.gz
. For example, endpoint I9_CHD
has I9_CHD.gz
and I9_CHD.gz.tbi
.
To learn more about the methods used, see section GWAS.
The {endpoint}.gz
have the following structure:
Column name
Description
chrom
chromosome on build GRCh38 (1-22, X
)
pos
position in base pairs on build GRCh38
ref
reference allele
alt
alternative allele (effect allele)
rsids
variant identifier
nearest_genes
nearest gene name from variant
pval
p-value from SAIGE
beta
effect size estimated with SAIGE for the alternative allele
sebeta
standard deviation of effect size estimated with SAIGE
maf
minor allele frequency
maf_cases
minor allele frequency among cases
maf_controls
minor allele frequency among controls
