  • We report trait-gene pairs with statistically significant epistatic effects (Formula accounting for the number of genes and traits tested). The −log10 P-values were reported in entry −log10 P-value, with a precision level bounded by 13. We report the P-values at these trait-gene pairs when the top 40 PCs were regressed out (−log10 P-value [40 PC]) and when analyzing imputed genotypes (−log10 P-value [Imputed]).
