the most associated with major depression, also using sex and age as covariates. The top 10% of the genes with the most extreme t-statistic were defined as tissue specific. The coordinates for these genes were extended by a 100kb window and tested using LD score regression. Significance was obtained from the coefficient z-score, which corrects for all other categories in the baseline model.
