GWAS
We used the SAIGE software for running R5 GWAS as we did in previous releases. SAIGE is a mixed model logistic regression R/C++ package. We used code of version 0.36.3.2: https://github.com/weizhouUMICH/SAIGE/tree/finngen_r5_jk We made two modifications to SAIGE 0.36.3.2 codebase (neither modification affects the method):
Null model .rda objects were trimmed to reduce RAM consumption
Het and alt hom counts in cases and controls are included in the output
We analyzed:
2,803 endpoints
218,792 samples
16,962,023 variants
We included the following covariates in the model: sex, age, 10 PCs, genotyping batch.
