Citation and links to technical details
Detailed descriptions of the construction of the genotypic dataset and the derivation of the polygenic scores are beyond the scope of this page. However, links to relevant papers are provided below - essential technical details may be found in the on line supplements for these papers. These papers should also be cited in publications based on results of analysis of the TEDS polygenic scores.

Please note that the polygenic score data is the raw LDpred output variable, and is not adjusted for any covariates. The polygenic scores should be adjusted for these covariates (ancestry PCs and chip) using the regression method, and z-standardised prior to further analysis.
Data sharing
Please refer to the TEDS data access policy on the main TEDS web site.
The list below includes all available polygenic scores in TEDS. Any of these may be requested within a collaborator data request.
TEDS policy is to share polygenic scores only as listed on this page, derived using LDpred or LDpred2 as shown. Similarly, only those covariates listed below are available for sharing alongside the polygenic scores. If you wish to use a new or updated polygenic score that is not listed, we will consider creating the new score using LDpred2 for addition to the TEDS dataset.
Requests to make new polygenic scores by other methods (i.e. other than LDpred2) will not normally be considered. Exceptions may be made for genetic consortia.
If you need further input about analysis of polygenic scores in your data request, please consult with Andrea Allegrini (a.allegrini@ucl.ac.uk) and consider asking him to be a collaborator and co-author.
Covariates
The polygenic scores should be analysed alongside a set of covariates. These are generally included as background variables in any dataset used for analysis of genotypes or polygenic scores.
As mentioned above, each polygenic score should be adjusted for these covariates (ancestry PCs and chip) using the regression method, and z-standardised prior to further analysis. These covariate variables are listed in the table below.
Covariate variable name(s) | Values | Description |
---|---|---|
PC1, PC2, PC3, PC4, PC5, PC6, PC7, PC8, PC9, PC10 | Continuously variable, decimal numeric values. The values are both positive and negative, with mean 0 for each variable. The standard deviation is roughly 0.01 for each variable. The distributions are normal. | These are the first 10 principal components of the genotype data. These are typically used to make corrections for population stratification (ancestry) in analysis. |
chiptype | Coded numeric categories: 1=Affymetrix, 2=OEE | Denotes the type of chip on which the twin's DNA was genotyped (Affymetrix or OEE) |
batchnumber | Coded numeric categories: 0=Affymetrix, 1=OEE batch 1, 2=OEE batch 2, 3=OEE batch 3, 4=OEE batch 4, 5=OEE batch 5, 6=OEE batch 6, 7=OEE DZ cotwin batch. | Denotes the batch in which the twin's DNA was genotyped. The Affymetrix genotyping (coded 0) was carried out at the Sanger Institute, and we assume there was a single batch as we do not have batch metadata. The OEE genotyping was carried out at KCL in six main batches for unrelated twins (coded 1 to 6) plus a further batch for genotyped DZ co-twins (coded 7). |
genotyped1/2 | Numeric integer values: 0, 1 | Double-entered twin variable. Denotes whether or not each twin is genotyped. |
DZtwinpair | Numeric integer values: 0, 1 | Denotes whether the twin was one of a genotyped DZ twin pair: 1=yes, 0=no. |
selectunpaired | Numeric integer values: 0, 1 | This variable is used to filter the sample of unrelated twins, by selecting each unpaired genotyped twin plus one randomly-selected twin from each genotyped DZ twin pair. Coded 1=yes, 0=no: filter on value 1 for the 7,026 unrelated twins. |
genotypedzyg | Numeric integer values: 0=neither twin genotyped; 1=DZ pair with both genotyped; 2=DZ pair with one twin genotyped; 3=MZ pair with one twin genotyped; 4=unknown zygosity, one twin genotyped |
Twin pair variable. Denotes whether one or both variables are genotyped, grouped by zygosity. |
MZtwinPGScopied1/2 | Numeric integer values: 0, 1 | Double-entered twin variable. Flags an MZ twin whose cotwin is genotyped, and whose cotwin's polygenic scores have been copied in the dataset. |
Polygenic score variables
All TEDS polygenic scores have been derived using LDpred or, for more recent scores, LDpred-2. The method used (LDpred or LDpred-2) to generate any given score is shown in the list below.
Earlier versions of TEDS polygenic scores, derived using LDpred, were previously made available at three thresholds. However, the TEDS dataset now includes polygenic scores only at threshold-1 for LDpred, and in a comparable format for LDpred-2. Hence, there is now only one available variable for each polygenic score.
Each polygenic score variable has decimal numeric values, which may be positive or negative. The variables are not standardised, so the means, standard deviations and ranges vary from one polygenic score to another. The values vary continuously and are normally distributed.
The polygenic scores are raw, and have not been adjusted for the ancestry principle components (see covariates above). This adjustment will typically need to be done by the researcher, prior to analysis.
The variable prefix is generally the same as the prefix of the name of the raw file from which the score was taken; this filename in turn is derived from the filename of the summary stats that were used in the computation of the score. These names are descriptive of the trait and of the source of the summary stats. Because the names are descriptive, and because they can be referenced using the table below, the variables have not been given variable labels in the dataset.
The name of each polygenic score variable typically follows this pattern, with some variations: [trait]_[author][year], where "author" and "year" refer to the publication of the GWAS study that produced the summary statistics from which the polygenic score was derived. Additional information is sometimes included in the variable name. For the older LDpred scores, the variable name may be extended to [trait]_[author][year]_FRCT1, indicating that the score was derived at threshold 1. Examples of variable names may be seen in the list below.
Polygenic scores list
The list below includes polygenic scores that are most commonly used in relation to mental health, cognition and psychological traits, and additionally BMI and SES traits. There is a separate page listing polygenic scores for other physical illnesses and traits.
In the list below, polygenic scores are grouped by trait category (cognitive, mental health, etc). Within each trait category, the scores are sorted in ascending alphabetical order of trait, then variable name.
