The table shows the predictive value of a Psychiatric Genetics Consortium (PGC) MDD-trained polygenic risk score on the CONVERGE results. Predictive values are shown at varying p-value thresholds (pT) from P<=1×10−6 to 1 (i.e. all results). P is the P-value of the prediction and r2 the amount of variance explained (thus the table shows that including all SNPs from PGC-MDD explained 0.09% of MDD risk in CONVERGE.). The number of independent SNPs at each threshold is presented (No. SNPs); the significance of the observed fraction (%) demonstrating a consistent direction of effect was assessed by a one-sided binomial sign test.
