  1. aFor Cis-SNV-sets, each of the 405 autosomal SNV-sets were analysed only in relation to the encoded protein, whereas in the Trans-SNV-sets, the SNV-set (one for each of the 18,467 genes across the genome) was analysed in relation to all 414 proteins. The significance threshold was 0.05/3 Cis-sets/405 proteins/seven models = 5.88 × 10−6 for Cis, and 0.05/2 Trans-sets/414 proteins/18,467 SNV-sets/seven models = 4.67 ×  10−10 for Trans.
  2. bMedian [interquartile range] of the number of SNVs in the SNV-sets.
  3. cFraction of SNVs and indels in the SNV-sets that were considered rare (MAF < 0.0239).
  4. dThe seven models are: model (1) Unweighted, model (2) CADD or Eigen weighted, model (3) MAF weighted—β(1, 25), model (4) MAF weighted—β(1, 5), model (5) MAF weighted—β(0.5, 0.5), model (6) CommonRare, model (7) Rare only, model. See method section for more information on the models and Supplementary Fig. 7 for information on the β-distributions.
  5. eGene ± 100 kb-regions up/downstream of each gene, filtered by Eigen >10 when analysed in Cis.
  6. fGene ± 100 kb-regions up/downstream of each gene, filtered by CADD or Eigen >10 when analysed in Trans.
  7. gWeighted by Eigen values.
  8. hWeighted by CADD values.
