For each GWAS, we quantified eight metrics grouped into four variant- and locus-based metrics (number of GWS SNPs; number of GWS loci; prediction accuracy (\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$${R}_{{\rm{GWS}}}^{2}$$\end{document}RGWS2) of PGS based on GWS SNPs; and proportion of the genome covered by GWS loci), a functional-annotation-based metric (enrichment statistics from stratified LDSC39,40), two gene-based metrics (number of genes prioritized by summary-data-based Mendelian randomization41 (SMR; Methods) and proximity of variants with OMIM genes) and a gene-set-based metric (enrichment within clusters of gene sets or pathways). Overall, we found different patterns for the relationship between those metrics and GWAS sample size and ancestry composition, consistent with varying degrees of saturation achieved at different sample sizes.
