Table 7 Association results between metabolic syndrome traits and MT-CN polygenic risk score in 357656 UK Biobank samples. β refers to the regression coefficient of MT-CN in a linear regression of cell type onto MT-CN PRS and other covariates (see Methods). Bolded results are significant below a nominal α = 0.05. The weight phenotype tested was that which was measured at the time of impedance measurement.

From: Mitochondrial genome copy number measured by DNA sequencing in human blood is strongly associated with metabolic traits via cell-type composition differences
