Abstract
Steven Gazal, Alkes Price and colleagues extend stratified LD score regression to continuous annotations. They analyze summary statistics from 56 complex diseases and traits and find that SNPs with low levels of linkage disequilibrium have larger per-SNP heritability, consistent with the action of negative selection on deleterious variants that affect complex traits.</p>
