Table 4 Associations between the PRS for neuroticism based on the UK Biobank Neuroticism GWAS summary results, and neuroticism in GS:SFHS and QIMR samples, controlling for age, sex and 10 genetic principal components for population structure

From: Genome-wide analysis of over 106 000 individuals identifies 9 neuroticism-associated loci
