For each marker in each study, we computed a Bayes factor in favour of association with standing height using the effect sizes and standard errors, and 0.22 as the prior33 on the variance of the effect sizes. To ensure the effect sizes were on the same scale in both studies we scaled UK Biobank effect sizes and standard errors by the standard deviation of the residuals of the measured phenotype (standing height) after regressing out the covariates used in the GWAS. We then confirmed that the effect size estimates for overlapping markers were comparable between the two studies.
