PheWAS meta-analysis results for multi-ancestry LDL-C PGS in the UK Biobank and MVP. The blue horizontal line denotes phenome-wide significance (p-value ≤ 6.5 × 10−5, to account for multiple testing of 773 phenotypes) and the red line is genome-wide significance (p-value ≤ 5 × 10−8). Phenotypes have been pruned, so that the most significant one per correlated phenotype group (correlation coefficient > 0.2) is retained. Pairwise correlations were estimated with chi-square test and Cramer’s V for the dichotomous phenotypes and Pearson’s correlation for the continuous phenotypes. AAA: abdominal aortic aneurysm, AD: Alzheimer’s disease, AST: aspartate aminotransferase, Atherosclerosis*: atherosclerosis of native arteries of the extremities with intermittent claudication, Hb_con: hemoglobin concentration, IBD: irritable bowel disease, MCH: mean corpuscular hemoglobin, MCV: mean corpuscular volume, PVD: peripheral vascular disease
