Linear regression with weights estimated from the data is called feasible generalized least squares (FGLS). FGLS has the same limiting distribution as WLS with optimal weights, so WLS p-values are valid for FGLS [59]. We multiply the heteroskedasticity weights by 1/ℓj (where ℓj is LD Score with sum over regression SNPs) in order to downweight SNPs that are overcounted. This is a heuristic: the optimal approach is to rotate the data so that it is de-correlated, but this rotation matrix is difficult to compute.
