Linkage disequilibrium score regression analysis found a positive and highly significant genetic correlation ( r G = 0.38, P = 2.30 × 10 −25 ) between endometriosis and migraine.
Linkage disequilibrium score regression analysis found a positive and highly significant genetic correlation ( r G = 0.38, P = 2.30 × 10 −25 ) between endometriosis and migraine.
Nevertheless, we found evidence for marginally significant heterogeneity among the IVs (Cochran’s Q statistics for IVW = 18.39, degree of freedom [df] = 10, P = 0.049, and Q’ statistics for MR Egger = 16.99, df = 9, P = 0.049).
We extracted nominally significant genes (at P < 0.1, P < 0.05, and P < 0.01) from Vegas2 outputs for each of the two traits and assessed those for overlapping genes between endometriosis and migraine.
However, the difference between Q and its df (18.39 – 10 = 8.39) for IVW and (Q’, 16.99 – 9 = 7.99) for MR Egger are small, indicating (alongside the borderline significant p -value) that the heterogeneity was not substantial.
