Extended Data Fig. 3: Properties of associations shared between traits.

a, Shared genomic associations by pairs of traits. For traits x and y, colour in row x and column y reflects the number of loci associated with both traits divided by the number of loci associated with trait x. Traits are presented in the same order as in Extended Data Fig. 2a, and the side and top colour bars reflect trait groups. b, Relationship between estimated genetic correlation and extent of sharing of genetic associations. For each trait pair, the extent of locus sharing is defined as the number of loci associated with both traits divided by the total number of loci associated with either trait. Analysis using the absolute value of the Pearson correlation of the residual series results in a very similar pattern. The number of trait pairs in each x-axis category is as follows: 0–1%, 819; 1–10%, 204; 11–20%, 102; 21–30%, 41; 31–40%, 29; 41–50%, 16; >50%, 13. The bar within each box is the median, the box represents the upper and lower quartiles, whiskers extend to 1.5× the interquartile range and points represent outliers.
