Extended Data Fig. 5: Genetic Correlation Between Varicose Veins and Vascular Traits.

Genetic correlations between varicose veins and other vascular traits were estimated using cross-trait LDSC. Varicose veins were significantly correlated with VTE (venous thromboembolism), PAD (peripheral artery disease), and AAA (abdominal aortic aneurysm), but not STROKE (any ischemic stroke) or CAD (coronary artery disease. Error bars represent 95% Confidence Intervals (95% CI).
