Text

Meta-analyses were conducted using a sample-size-weighted method in METAL,88 assuming shared risk effects across ancestries. Effective sample sizes (N_Eff), calculated using the formula: 4/[1/n_case + 1/n_control], were used to compensate for the imbalance in the ratio of cases to controls. N_Eff were used in all meta-analyses and all downstream analyses.
