Summary-level GWAS data of Cardiovascular Disease from UKBB (n = 459,324, case fraction = 0.319)35 (link) were generated by BOLT-LMM based on the Bayesian linear mixed model per SNP63 (link) with assessment centered, sex, age, and squared age as covariates. Although BOLT-LMM was derived based on a quantitative trait model, it can be applied to analyze case–control traits and has a well-controlled false-positive rate when the trait is sufficiently balanced with a case fraction ≥10% and samples are of the same ancestry. The tested dichotomous cardiovascular disease phenotype includes a list of sub-phenotypes: hypertension, heart/cardiac problem, peripheral vascular disease, venous thromboembolic disease, stroke, transient ischemic attack (tia), subdural hemorrhage/hematoma, cerebral aneurysm, high cholesterol, and other venous/lymphatic diseases.
