Tough to say without more information -- here are a few troubleshooting steps
Hi Brendan,
here's more info:

The reason why you get slightly different results than the tutorial is because you used --ref-ld- chr eur_ref_ld_chr/
instead of --ref-ld-chr eur_w_ld_chr/
. You can download the eur_w_ld_chr/
files from the same place. They tend to work a little better.
For ICV, it looks like you're getting a ratio statistic of ~0.3 with SE ~0.13, so those results are consistent with true ratio = 0 plus noise. As a sanity check, you could try the following
--ref-ld-chr eur_w_ld_chr/
(ratio might be a bit lower?)--ref-ld-chr eur_w_ld_chr/ --no-intercept
(constrain the intercept to 1; typically decreases the SE by ~30%. Since you're constraining the intercept to a lower value, h2 will go up, and it should be more similar to GCTA)FYI, you may not have great power to detect enrichment with partitioned LD Score regression with a mean chi^2 of 1.05. We optimized the baseline model for unbiased estimation at big N (height, schizophrenia, BMI) rather than low variance estimation at low or medium N.
Using eur_w_ld_chr I got the same values as in the tutorial. For ICV, I got
Total Observed scale h2: 0.1782 (0.0454) Lambda GC: 1.0527 Mean Chi^2: 1.0572 Intercept: 1.0169 (0.0068) Ratio: 0.2961 (0.1195)
and constraining the intercept:
Total Observed scale h2: 0.2579 (0.0312) Lambda GC: 1.0527 Mean Chi^2: 1.0572 Intercept: constrained to 1
With GCTA h2 was 0.54, with s.e.=0.23, because we only had N=1765. The sample for GCTA was very homogeneous, and then ICV (intra-cranial volumes estimated from MRI) values more comparable among individuals. In ENIGMA the different samples vary a lot, and volume measurements may include a lot of different confounds. Maybe what remains is not polygenic enough for the analyses...

We optimized the baseline model for unbiased estimation at huge N (height, schizophrenia, BMI) rather than low variance estimation at low or medium N. We excluded phenotypes with h2 Z-score (h2 / se(h2)) below 6 in our partitioned h2 paper; it looks like ICV is around ~3-4.

If the cohorts included in the meta-analysis used slightly different trait definitions that have (a) approx equal h2 and (b) genetic correlations slightly less than one, then h2(meta-analysis) will tend to be a bit less than h2 in any of the cohorts. The magnitude of this effect depends on how low the genetic correlations are, but a typical number would be max a couple of % (e.g., that's an upper bound for even schizophrenia, which is not the cleanest of phenotypes to measure).
Back to ENGIMA -- 0.54 se 0.23 is not significantly different from 0.26. However, 0.54 is a really high SNP-h2. I think height holds the record with ~0.45; everything else is in the ~0.1-0.3 range. Of all the numbers you listed, the ~0.26 number from LD Score regression w/ constrained intercept seems most plausible.
thank you !
In the latest GIANT paper (Wood et al) snp-h2 was 60%! There was also Gaugler's paper for ASD with snp-h2=.51±0.05 and Davies's paper for IQ with snp-h2=.51±.11... One day we'll have those nice N~10K samples in brain imaging :)

Hello, For a series of phenotypes I'm getting Ratio values of 17% and even 30%. The GWAS data is not genomic-controlled. However, when I tried a GC version of the same analyses, the results were not much different (I am not doing the GWAS analyses myself), and in general smaller that what I had obtained using GCTA. The number of subjects is N~13,000, European ancestry. What can explain the large Ratio values and the absence of difference between GC and non-GC heritability estimates? Thank you!
