Data description
File naming pattern and file structure
Summary association statistics
GWAS summary statistics (tab-delimited, bgzipped, genome build 38, 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 (1-23)
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
mlogp
-log10(p-value)
beta
sebeta
af_alt
alternative (effect) allele frequency
af_alt_cases
alternative (effect) allele frequency among cases
af_alt_controls
alternative (effect) allele frequency among controls
n_hom_cases
number of homozygous cases*
n_hom_ref_cases
number of homozygous reference cases*
n_het_cases
number of heterozygous cases*
n_hom_controls
number of homozygous controls*
n_hom_ref_controls

n_het_controls

*)Note that the results are based on imputed genotype dosages and produced using SAIGE and that is why the data is not presented as integers but might contain digits.
Fine-mapping results
Two fine-mapping methods were used:
Fine-mapping results are tab-delimited and bgzipped.
SuSiE results have the following filename pattern:
{endpoint}.SUSIE.cred.bgz{endpoint}.SUSIE.cred_99.bgz{endpoint}.SUSIE.snp.bgz
FINEMAP results have the following filename pattern:
{endpoint}.FINEMAP.config.bgz{endpoint}.FINEMAP.region.bgz{endpoint}.FINEMAP.snp.bgz
To learn more about the methods used, see section Fine-mapping.
{endpoint}.SUSIE.cred.bgz contain credible set summaries from SuSiE fine-mapping for all genome-wide significant regions. {endpoint}.SUSIE.cred_99.bgz contain the 99% credible set summaries while the default is 95%. They have the following structure:

LD estimation
Linkage disequilibrium (LD) was estimated from SISU v3 for each chromosome. Use the tool LDstore (v1.1) for further usage of the bcor files.
ldstore --bcor FG_LD_chr1.bcor --incl-range 20000000-50000000 --table output_file_name.table
To learn more about the methods used, see section LD estimation.
Variant annotation
The variant annotation has measures (HWE, INFO, ...) listed per batch.
