The meta-analysis involved studies that used different platforms, necessitating the use of imputation. Since we had a substantial sample typed on both platforms, we used a simple linear regression approach to imputation26. Details of this, and other methods used in the meta-analysis, are given in Supplementary Methods. Supplementary Figure 3 shows the distribution of the quality of imputation, as measured by the coefficient of determination, R2.
