Abstract: Positive genetic correlation estimates are commonly interpreted as evidencethat two traits share overlapping biological features. With the increasing avail-ability of large consortium and biobank datasets, considerable research activityhas focused on cataloging the genetic correlation structure of complex humantraits in order to better understand shared etiology and transdiagnostic...
