2 Fig. 1 Testicular germ cell tumour (TGCT) risk alleles in TGCT cases and controls. Polygenic risk scores are plotted to show (A) probability density function (PDF) and (B) cumulative distribution function (CDF) for familial TGCT (green, n=236), sporadic TGCT (blue, n=3931), and controls (red, n=12,368). PDF and CDF are also shown for risk allele counts, unweighted by effect size, in (C) and (D), respectively. PRS=polygenic risk score; TGCT=testicular germ cell tumour.

3 Fig. 2 Relationship between ranked polygenic risk score and family history score. Spearman rank correlation showing the relationship between ranked polygenic risk score (y-axis) and ranked family history score (x-axis) for the 228 familial testicular germ cell tumour cases with a known pedigree structure. The underlying distributions of those data are shown, respectively, on the opposite axes. Rho=0.09; p=0.09.
