GWAS were obtained from the EBI-NHGRI GWAS Catalog (17) (downloaded 30 October 2015). When there were multiple GWAS for the same trait, a trait-wide pruning was performed to retain only the strongest (lowest P-value) GWAS result from all studies on that trait, when two results from different studies were overlapping or within one megabase of each other.
