Significant Locus and Metabolic Genetic Correlations Revealed in Genome-Wide Association Study of Anorexia Nervosa.

Text

Analytical methods for estimating heritability and genetic correlations, and for gene-based and pathway analyses, are presented in the Supplementary Text. Regarding the rationale for these particular secondary analyses, we note that these are often considered to be standard analyses for GWAS reports across medicine. In this particular application, we estimate SNP heritability for anorexia nervosa because it is important to quantify the combined effects of common variants on anorexia nervosa and compare it with other complex disorders and traits, within and outside psychiatry.
