2 Figure 1 Off-Diagonal Elements of the Additive GRM against Those of the Dominance GRM The correlation is 3.40 × 10−4, which is not significantly different from zero (p = 0.11).

3 Figure 2 Distribution of the Estimates of hSNP2 and δSNP2 for 79 Traits in the ARIC Cohort To get an unbiased estimate of the mean of hSNP2 or δSNP2 across all the traits, the estimates of hSNP2 and δSNP2 for each trait were not constrained to be positive in the REML analysis. The mean estimates of hSNP2 and δSNP2 are 0.15 and 0.03, respectively.

4 Figure 3 Estimates of hSNP2 and δSNP2 in Three Independent Cohorts of ARIC, EGCUT, and LL and in the Combined Dataset of EGCUT and LL for Four Traits Error bar represents the standard error.

5 Figure 4 Genome-wide Association Tests for Dominance Effects for Factor VIII and von Willebrand Factor (A and B) Manhattan plots of p values for dominance effects from the model of fitting both additive and dominance effects for factor VIII (FVIII) (A) and von Willebrand factor (vWF) (B). SNPs with genome-wide significant dominance effects are located at the ABO gene locus. (C and D) Genotype-phenotype maps at the top SNP rs for FVIII (C) and the top SNP rs for vWF (D). The normalized phenotypic means in the three genotypic classes are −0.57, 0.12, and 0.30 at the SNP rs for FVIII (C), and −0.57, 0.15, and 0.37 at the SNP rs for vWF (D). Bars represent 2.5% and 97.5% quartiles of the phenotype distribution at each of the three genotypic classes.
