Based on the gene-based and eQTL analyses, we also investigated the phenotypic spectrum of SLC30A9 and BEND4. In line with the shared effect of rs9291211, we observed associations surviving multiple-testing correction (p<1.05×10−5) in both gene-based phenome-wide scans (Supplementary Table 8). Among the 14 common associations, we observed: “alcohol usually taken with meals” (BEND4 p=6.5×10−11; SLC30A9 p=3.59×10−6), “neuroticism sum score” (BEND4 p=1.92×10−8; SLC30A9 p=3.63×10−7), and “depressive symptoms” (BEND4 p=6.24×10−7; SLC30A9 p=3.58×10−6).
