<div type="abstract" xml:lang="en">
<p>Although genome-wide association studies have identified over 100 risk loci that explain ∼33% of familial risk for prostate cancer (PrCa), their functional effects on risk remain largely unknown. Here we use genotype data from 59,089 men of European and African American ancestries combined with cell-type-specific epigenetic data to build a genomic atlas of single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) heritability in PrCa. We find significant differences in heritability between variants in prostate-relevant epigenetic marks defined in normal versus tumour tissue as well as between tissue and cell lines. The majority of SNP heritability lies in regions marked by H3k27 acetylation in prostate adenoc7arcinoma cell line (LNCaP) or by DNaseI hypersensitive sites in cancer cell lines. We find a high degree of similarity between European and African American ancestries suggesting a similar genetic architecture from common variation underlying PrCa risk. Our findings showcase the power of integrating functional annotation with genetic data to understand the genetic basis of PrCa.</p>

<abstract>
<p>Although genome-wide association studies have identified over 100 risk loci that explain ∼33% of familial risk for prostate cancer (PrCa), their functional effects on risk remain largely unknown. Here we use genotype data from 59,089 men of European and African American ancestries combined with cell-type-specific epigenetic data to build a genomic atlas of single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) heritability in PrCa. We find significant differences in heritability between variants in prostate-relevant epigenetic marks defined in normal versus tumour tissue as well as between tissue and cell lines. The majority of SNP heritability lies in regions marked by H3k27 acetylation in prostate adenoc7arcinoma cell line (LNCaP) or by DNaseI hypersensitive sites in cancer cell lines. We find a high degree of similarity between European and African American ancestries suggesting a similar genetic architecture from common variation underlying PrCa risk. Our findings showcase the power of integrating functional annotation with genetic data to understand the genetic basis of PrCa.</p>

Over one hundred loci have been identified to be associated with the familial risk of prostate cancer but the functional effects are poorly understood. Here the authors use single-nucleotide variant and epigentic data to show an underlying genetic architecture marked by histone modification.</p>

<body>
<p>Family history is a well-established risk factor for prostate cancer (PrCa), which has an estimated heritability of 58%—one of the highest across common cancers
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b1">1</xref>
. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been particularly successful in identifying over 100 risk loci that capture ∼33% of the estimated familial risk
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b2">2</xref>
. Although most of the GWAS PrCa variants overlap prostate-specific regulatory elements (for example, androgen receptor-binding sites (ARBS))

<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b7">7</xref>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b8">8</xref>
, a quantification of the contribution of genetic variation from various chromatin marks to PrCa risk is currently lacking.</p>
<p>Recent work form the ENCODE/ROADMAP consortia
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b9">9</xref>
has shown that a large fraction of the genome plays a role in at least one biochemical event, in at least one tissue. Although this functional atlas of the human genome has greatly enhanced our understanding of regulatory elements, such functional elements are often tissue specific
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b10">10</xref>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b11">11</xref>
making their interpretability in the context of PrCa risk challenging. Existing studies that have integrated PrCa GWAS findings with tissue-specific functional annotations have relied only on the GWAS significant variants (∼100 in the most recent study) or single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) tagging them
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b2">2</xref>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b7">7</xref>
, thus ignoring loci that do not reach genome-wide significance. Recent methodological advances have shown that the entire polygenic architecture of common traits can be interrogated using variance components across all assayed SNPs (typed and/or imputed) to increase power for detecting trait-specific functional annotations
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b12">12</xref>
. In addition to offering superior performance relative to methods that evaluate only GWAS SNPs, the variance components methods also allow for comparison of estimates across different studies and sample sizes. This is because variance components yield an unbiased estimate (under standard assumptions) of SNP heritability

<p>Here, we use targeted and genome-wide SNP array data from 59,089 male PrCa cases and controls of European (BPC3 (ref.
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b16">16</xref>
) and iCOGS (ref.
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b4">4</xref>
), respectively, see Methods) and African American (AAPC (ref.
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b17">17</xref>
), see Methods) ancestry to dissect the genetic risk of PrCa. We estimate the SNP heritability of previously implicated regulatory annotations
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b7">7</xref>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b18">18</xref>
and perform a broad analysis of 544 epigenetic marks from ENCODE/ROADMAP (ref.
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b9">9</xref>
). Our approach interrogates the entire common polygenic architecture of PrCa while accounting for potential correlations between related functional categories. First, we find that SNPs near ARBS assayed in prostate tumour explain significantly more of the heritability of PrCa than ARBS SNPs assayed in prostate normal tissue. Second, we localize most of the heritability of PrCa to regions in the genome marked by three functional categories: (i) H3K27ac histone modifications in prostate adenocarcinoma cell lines (LNCaP; typically marking active enhancers
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b19">19</xref>
); (ii) androgen receptors in prostate tissue
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b18">18</xref>
; and (iii) DNase I hypersensitivity sites (DHS) in cancer cell lines. We replicate the LNCaP H3K27ac and DHS results across different ancestries and show that risk prediction from genome-wide SNP data is significantly improved with a predictor that incorporates the functional atlas as prior. Overall, our results suggest a similar genetic architecture from common variation of PrCa risk across men of European and African ancestry and highlight H3k27ac histone mark in LNCaP and ARBS in prostate tissue for follow-up studies of PrCa risk.</p>

<title>Partitioning the genetic risk for prostate cancer</title>
<p>We analysed multiple functional annotations and quantified the fraction of variance in trait explained by SNPs that are localized within each functional class. Our approach models the phenotype (PrCa) of a set of individuals as being drawn from a multivariate normal distribution with variance components estimated based on genetic data (that is, SNPs) plus an environmental term (see Methods)
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b13">13</xref>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b14">14</xref>
. For each functional category
<italic>i</italic>
, a genetic relationship matrix across all individuals is computed from all the SNPs residing in the given functional category to serve as a variance component. Multiple components are then jointly fitted using the restricted maximum likelihood (REML) as implemented in the GCTA software
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b14">14</xref>
to estimate variance parameters

<inline-graphic id="d33e3609" xlink:href="ncomms10979-m2.jpg"></inline-graphic>

is then estimated as
<inline-formula id="d33e3615">
<inline-graphic id="d33e3616" xlink:href="ncomms10979-m3.jpg"></inline-graphic>
</inline-formula>
, where the sum in the denominator is across all fitted components including the environmental term. Therefore, we view
<inline-formula id="d33e3618">
<inline-graphic id="d33e3619" xlink:href="ncomms10979-m4.jpg"></inline-graphic>
</inline-formula>
as an estimate of the variance in trait that can be explained by all the SNPs in the corresponding functional category with a linear model of the trait (that is, SNP heritability)
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b12">12</xref>
. We expect functional categories that are enriched with casual variants for PrCa to attain a higher estimated SNP heritability as compared with functional categories depleted of causal variants for PrCa. To focus our results on noncoding variation and account for potential confounders because of linkage disequilibrium (LD), we explicitly included coding and coding-proximal regulatory variation as ‘background' components whenever we quantified the effect of each functional annotation tested (see Methods).</p>
<p>The variance component model has previously been shown to yield robust estimates under the assumption that causal variants are typed and uniformly sampled from a given component

. Here, we perform additional simulations using the UK10K whole-genome sequence data to confirm the validity of this model for our data, and to assess how representative SNP estimates are of true underlying biology at common sequenced variants. The simulation framework uses real genotype data from the UK10K consortium to generate additive, polygenic phenotypes with a given heritability and then performs heritability estimation with the variance component model (see Methods). Although the UK10K data contains a much smaller set of individuals as the iCOGS data (3,047 versus 42,613 individuals, see Methods), it contains variation from whole-genome sequencing; this allows us to evaluate model performance by simulation when restricting to SNPs genotyped on the iCOGS platform. We focused on the LNCaP: H3k27ac annotation (which was most significant in our data, see below) to evaluate the multiple component models. Over thousands of simulations, we confirmed that the variance components approach correctly recovered the causal contribution to trait from a given functional category when causal variants were typed (
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary Table 1</xref>
, see Methods). Under both null and enriched scenarios the estimates were unbiased and standard errors properly calibrated (
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary Table 1</xref>
). For common sequenced variants not present on the iCOGS platform, relative estimates of noncoding enrichment/depletion were conservative, with the tagged effects distributed across the typed components (
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary Table 2</xref>
). Deviations from the standard variance components model assumptions on the distribution of effect-sizes and ancestry-specific effects in African Americans yielded either well calibrated or conservative estimates of SNP heritability in the focal LNCaP: H3k27ac category (see Methods,
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary Tables 1–3</xref>
).</p>
<p>Our primary functional analyses focus on the densely genotyped iCOGS sample (21,678 cases and 20,935 controls), whose large sample size allowed for highly accurate estimates of component-specific
<inline-formula id="d33e3641">
<inline-graphic id="d33e3642" xlink:href="ncomms10979-m5.jpg"></inline-graphic>
</inline-formula>
. Although the iCOGS chip is custom built to oversample risk loci, it provides a broad coverage of the common variation genome wide
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b4">4</xref>
. To showcase the power of the variance components approach, we estimated the total SNP heritability of PrCa at 0.28 (s.e. 0.01) in the iCOGS data (not significantly different from the total SNP heritability estimate of 0.26 (s.e. 0.05) in the BPC3 data), a significant increase from the variance explained only by the known GWAS variants

of 0.06 (s.e.m. 0.001) (see Methods;
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary Table 4</xref>
). Interestingly, the total SNP heritability in the African American sample, which was genotyped on a different platform than iCOGS (see Methods), was estimated at 0.32 (s.e. 0.06) indicating a similar aggregate contribution of common variation to PrCa risk across the two ethnicities despite higher overall risk in African Americans

<title>Enrichment at androgen receptor-binding sites in tumours</title>
<p>We first focused on SNPs localized in the ARBS: an epigenetic profile causally implicated in prostate tumorigensis. In contrast to typical assays that focus on cell lines, the ARBS were defined by chromatin immunoprecipitation and high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) directly in primary human tissue (seven normal and 13 tumour specimens)
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b18">18</xref>
. We observed that variants within 5 kb of tumour-specific ARBS explained 17.0% of the genome-wide

=0.11 by
<italic>Z</italic>
-test) (
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1">Fig. 1</xref>
). The difference between these two groups was highly significant and demonstrates the importance of assaying functional marks in both normal and tumour tissues. We note that the 5 kb extension may also include other regulatory variants near the tumour/normal-specific ARBS (but not heritability from coding/untranslated region (UTR)/promoter variants, which were explicitly modelled, see Methods). Smaller flanking regions were also investigated but did not include enough markers for the variance components model to converge. We also quantified the proportion of SNP heritability explained directly by all ARBS variants (both normal and tumour without 5 kb flanks) at 10.7% of
<inline-formula id="d33e3690">
<inline-graphic id="d33e3691" xlink:href="ncomms10979-m9.jpg"></inline-graphic>

for difference by

<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1">Fig. 1</xref>
). This difference is partially explained by the very low number of SNPs within cell line ARBS making their aggregate contribution small but not empowering us to place a strong bound on the enrichment. Overall, these findings highlight the increased complexity of ARBS in a sample of tissues as compared with the single LNCaP cell line.</p>

<sec disp-level="2">
<title>Identification of functional marks relevant to PrCa risk</title>
<p>Next, we looked for marks that contribute to the heritability of PrCa across a broad spectrum of functional annotations without prior assumptions on relevance to disease. We investigated 544 epigenetic annotations spanning six major classes (DHS; H3k4me1; H3k4me3; H3k9ac; H3k27ac; and computationally predicted functional classes or ‘segmentations'
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b23">23</xref>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b24">24</xref>
) averaging 101 cell types per class (see Methods). After accounting for multiple testing, we identified 82 annotations that exhibited statistically significant deviations in SNP heritability from what was expected based on the proportion of the genome covered by that particular annotation (see
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">Fig. 2</xref>
and
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary Data</xref>
).</p>
<p>We first focused on 17 functional marks measured in the prostate, of which 14 were statistically significant (
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary Table 5</xref>
). The single most significant enrichment was observed for H3k27ac marks in LNCaP (

<inline-formula id="d33e3736">
<inline-graphic id="d33e3737" xlink:href="ncomms10979-m11.jpg"></inline-graphic>

to the 2.9% of genotyped SNPs within the annotation. This was followed by variants in DHS marks in LNCaP (

localized in 3.1% of genome). The DHS annotations allowed us to compare estimates across three major prostate cell lines: LNCaP; normal prostate epithelial (PrEC); and immortalized prostate epithelial (RWPE1) (overlapping by 25–50% with ARBS,
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary Fig. 1</xref>
). We observed heritability explained by LNCaP DHS to be nominally significantly higher than PrEC (

, respectively, by

<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f3">Fig. 3</xref>
). More broadly, 10 out of 16 DHS marks measured in cancer cell lines were observed as significant, with colorectal cancer as the next most significant cancer (

by
<italic>Z</italic>
-test; 9.4% of heritability localized in 2.0% of genome;
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary Data</xref>
). H3k27ac in LNCaP remained the most significantly enriched mark across all 544 annotations (presented in detail in the
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary Data</xref>
). The most depleted categories were repressed regions computationally predicted by Segway-chromHMM in HepG2 cells (

), with similar levels of depletion in repressed regions from other cell types. These regions are typically associated with decreased gene expression and repressive histone marks

, further emphasizing the importance of active regulation.</p>
<p>As H3k27ac typically marks active enhancers, we further evaluated variants with respect to their enhancer or ‘super'-enhancer status (large clusters of enhancers that are enriched for genes involved in cell identity
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b26">26</xref>
) (see Methods). We did not observe differences in average heritability explained by SNPs within the two marks across 49 cell lines (see Methods), with an average of 1.51 (1.47)-fold increase over random SNPs for enhancers (super enhancers) (
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f4">Fig. 4</xref>
). Surprisingly, we observed an individually significant difference only in LNCaP, with 4.9 (1.7)-fold enrichment at enhancers (super enhancers), in contrast to previous hypotheses

The reduction to a small number of categories in the selected model with limited loss in signal further emphasizes the extent to which the selected model has localized the functional sources of enrichment. Focusing on the two most enriched categories in the selected model, we found that SNPs present in both the prostate tissue ARBS and LNCaP H3k27ac marks yielded significantly higher average heritability per SNP than either mark individually (

of PrCa across variants from different epigenetic classes, tissue types and cell lines. Focusing on marks measured in prostate, we observed significantly higher

around tumour-specific ARBS; ARBS measured in primary tissue relative to cell line; and DHS measured in PrCa cell line relative to prostate epithelial cell line. The enrichment at tumour-specific ARBS was consistent with recent findings showing that these sites were enriched for nearby genes highly expressed in tumours
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b18">18</xref>
. These analyses are comprehensive and cover most commonly studied prostate cell lines except for vertebral cancer of the prostate, which were not well represented in the ENCODE/ROADMAP. A search across 544 diverse functional annotations restricted most of the
<inline-formula id="d33e4064">
<inline-graphic id="d33e4065" xlink:href="ncomms10979-m26.jpg"></inline-graphic>
</inline-formula>
to a small fraction of the genome marked by prostate regulatory elements. Consistent with previous findings in common disease, functionally repressed regions were significantly depleted in heritability, highlighting the role of active regulation in PrCa susceptibility. Subsequent model selection localized the enrichment from 82 individually significant annotations to six that remained significant in a joint model. In particular, the abundance of enrichment in H3k27ac marks (active enhancers) relative to H3k4me1/H3k4me3 (poised enhancers/promoters) underscores their role in PrCa, though further enrichment in super enhancers was not observed. The enrichment within LNCaP: H3K27ac and depletion at repressed regions was replicated across different ancestries and yielded significant improvements in polygenic risk prediction.</p>
<p>With most GWAS associations falling outside coding regions, our analyses offer an important resource for prioritizing potential loci and focusing future studies on the most heritable genomic regions
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b27">27</xref>
. The marginal analyses provide a ranking of 544 common functional assays, while the selected model localizes heritability to only those functional classes that are independently enriched. Emerging functional categories may further refine this signal or reveal other relevant epigenetic marks, though little enrichment beyond the selected model was observed in the comprehensive sampling of functional data analysed here. In general, the variance component model offers an opportunity to evaluate biological hypotheses
<italic>in silico</italic>
and without strictly relying on individually significant SNPs. However, as with any analysis of array-based data, the

estimates will not include the contribution of SNPs that are untyped or poorly tagged, such as rare variants or other contributors to the missing heritability. Future analyses of whole-genome sequencing, additional functional annotations, and larger sample sizes can yield important insights into functional mechanisms that are still not localized. Overall, our results suggest similar patterns of functional enrichment across men of European and African American ancestry and highlight ARBS, H3k27ac marks in LNCaP cell lines and DHS in cancer cell lines for follow-up studies of PrCa risk.</p>

<title>ARBS ChIP-seq in human tissue specimens</title>
<p>The ARBS assay was performed as described in REF (ref.
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b18">18</xref>
) and summarized here. Fourteen subjects of European American ancestry were selected for ChIP analysis. Their chromatin was incubated overnight with 6 μg antibody AR (N-20, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX) bound to protein A and protein G beads (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA). A fraction of the sample was not exposed to antibody to be used as control (input). The samples were de-crosslinked, treated with RNase and proteinase K, and DNA was extracted. The samples were then re-sheared to 100–300 base pairs using the Covaris ultra-sonicator, and concentrations of the ChIP DNA were quantified by Qubit Fluorometer (Life Technologies). DNA sequencing libraries were prepared using the ThruPLEX-FD Prep Kit (Rubicon Genomics, Ann Arbor, MI). Libraries were sequenced using 50-base pair reads on the Illumina platform (Illumina, San Diego, CA) at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. AR binding sites were generated using Model-Based Analysis of ChIP-seq 2 (MACS2), with a qvalue (false discovery rate, FDR) threshold of 0.01.</p>
<p>The 13 tumours used in this study were androgen dependent and not exposed to androgen deprivation therapies. All of the tumours were specimens obtained from radical prostatectomies, derived from men with early stage disease. These samples were not selected based on any specific features; therefore, we would expect that the distribution of risk variants would be similar to a random sampling of PrCa cases. Large-scale genetic surveys have shown that somatically acquired alterations in primary localized prostate tumours (the type of tumour evaluated in this study) are infrequent. Based on these previous results, we believe that somatically acquired genetic events in regions related to androgen biology are not common and, therefore, do not influence our results.</p>

estimates from typed variants in simulations</title>
<p>The variance component model has previously been shown to yield robust estimates under the assumption that causal variants are typed and uniformly sampled from a given functional category

. Here, we perform simulations using the UK10K whole-genome sequence data to confirm the validity of this model for our annotations, and to assess how representative SNP estimates are of true underlying biology at common sequenced variants. Overall, the simulations involve using real markers to generate additive, polygenic phenotypes with a given heritability and then estimating the heritability with the variance component model. We evaluated the UK10K data for three types of SNPs: (i) common sequenced variants (7,534,538 SNPs); (ii) UK10K SNPs typed by the iCOGS platform (178,509; 95% of iCOGS SNPs); and (iii) UK10K SNPs typed and imputed by the iCOGS platform (1,655,723; 87% of the iCOGS imputed SNPs). We focused on the LNCaP:H3k27ac annotation (which was most significant in our data) to evaluate the main joint model. All phenotypes were simulated by drawing 5,000 causal variants randomly from the specified categories and sampling causal effect-sizes from a normal distribution such that SNPs either explain equal variance (the model assumption) or variance in proportion to their MAF. The phenotype was then generated as the dot product of genotype and effect-size with random noise added to fix heritability at 50%. Phenotypes were simulated thousands of times until the standard error over simulations was low enough to evaluate unbiasedness.</p>
<p>We confirmed that estimates of
<inline-formula id="d33e4280">
<inline-graphic id="d33e4281" xlink:href="ncomms10979-m41.jpg"></inline-graphic>
</inline-formula>
from a polygenic trait were accurate under the model where causal variants are typed (
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary Table S1</xref>
). Under the null, the LNCaP H3k27ac component is expected to explain 3.22% of the SNP heritability, and the model estimated 3.50% (0.22%) and 3.68% (0.21%) under a low-frequency and high-frequency disease architecture, respectively (
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary Table S1</xref>
). None of the estimates were significantly different from the truth given the number of components tested. Under a scenario where LNCaP H3k27ac explains 50% of the
<inline-formula id="d33e4289">
<inline-graphic id="d33e4290" xlink:href="ncomms10979-m42.jpg"></inline-graphic>
</inline-formula>
, the model estimated 51.13% (0.40%) and 46.98% (0.35%) under a low-frequency and high-frequency disease architecture, respectively (
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary Table S1</xref>
). Although the high-frequency architecture (where common variants explain more variance in trait than rare variants) represents a substantial model misspecification, our simulations show that this does not introduce substantial bias and is likely to slightly underestimate the SNP heritability at the focal chromatin mark. In all cases, the empirical standard deviation over 500 simulations was similar to the average analytical s.e.m. computed by GCTA (REML algorithm), thus showing that that analytical standard error is well calibrated (
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary Table S1</xref>
). We note that the standard error is inversely related to the sample size
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b39">39</xref>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b40">40</xref>
, and is therefore much higher in these simulations than in the iCOGS data which is 14-fold larger.</p>
<p>Lastly, we performed the real data partitioned analysis in subsets of individuals to evaluate biasedness and power to detect significant enrichment. We confirmed that no significant differences were observed between estimates from the entire study compared with those averaged across subsets of the study (
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary Fig. 3</xref>
). As such, we can confidently report estimates and bounds on the enrichment observed in the entire study that will hold for larger studies. Furthermore, all but one of the significant components from the main model remained significant in smaller samples (ARBS), making it unlikely that they were affected by winner's curse. Recent work has quantified the theoretical relationship between estimation error and effective sample size for individual components

<title>Causal variants not tagged on the iCOGS genotyping platform</title>
<p>We used the sequenced UK10K common variants to evaluate how well the iCOGS genotyped and imputed SNPs captured underlying heritability by simulating phenotypes using causal variants from sequencing and estimating heritability from the iCOGS SNPs (that is, hiding variants that were not genotyped or imputed,
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary Table S2</xref>
). 83% of common UK10K SNPs lie within 100 kb of an iCOGS SNP, so some common variation is likely to be partially tagged by the chip. If the imputed and/or genotyped SNPs served as a good proxy for the common sequence variation, then we would expect their estimates of
<inline-formula id="d33e4316">
<inline-graphic id="d33e4317" xlink:href="ncomms10979-m43.jpg"></inline-graphic>
</inline-formula>
to match the simulated fractions. When no functional category was enriched with causal variants, small but significant differences were observed for genotyped coding variants (4.75%
<inline-formula id="d33e4319">
<inline-graphic id="d33e4320" xlink:href="ncomms10979-m44.jpg"></inline-graphic>
</inline-formula>
estimated as compared with simulated 0.67%) and imputed intergenic variants (56.09%
<inline-formula id="d33e4322">
<inline-graphic id="d33e4323" xlink:href="ncomms10979-m45.jpg"></inline-graphic>
</inline-formula>
as compared with 50.52% simulated) but not the focal LNCaP:H3k27ac category. Similar deviations were observed for the disease architecture where common variants explain more variance in trait than rare variants (
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary Table S2</xref>
). When causal variants where enriched within LNCaP:H3k27ac category, deviations between simulated and estimated SNP heritability were larger (
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary Table S2</xref>
). Most of this deviation was due to a significant underestimate at LNCaP:H3k27ac, which was simulated to explain 50% of
<inline-formula id="d33e4332">
<inline-graphic id="d33e4333" xlink:href="ncomms10979-m46.jpg"></inline-graphic>
</inline-formula>
but explained only 12.55% (s.e.m.0.92%) and 30.92% (s.e.m. 1.09%) from genotyped and imputed SNPs, respectively. This heritability was distributed across all the remaining components, particularly in intergenic SNPs for the genotyped estimate and DHS SNPs for the imputed estimate, which tend to be nearby.</p>
<p>Overall, our simulations showed that the model is highly accurate when all causal variants are typed. When considering enrichment from untyped causal variants, the imputed estimate was consistently closer to the truth than the genotyped estimate. Most importantly, the estimate from the focal category (LNCaP H3k27ac in our simulations) was shown to be highly conservative both in the null and in the enriched scenario and unlikely to be biased due to tagging of untyped markers. We note that previous work has shown estimates from imputed SNPs (but not genotyped SNPs) may be contaminated by markers very close to an enriched annotation
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b12">12</xref>
; as such we focused our results on the densely genotyped iCOGS variants which are expected to be conservative, and primarily used imputed data for validation across data sets.</p>

<title>Genetic prediction</title>
<p>We sought to validate the utility of our functional atlas by applying it to genetic prediction. The aim of genetic prediction is to use training individuals with genetics (for example, SNPs) and diagnosed phenotype to accurately predict the phenotype into individuals with only genetic data available
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b41">41</xref>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b42">42</xref>
. Here, we focus on correlation of predicted phenotype with true phenotype (
<italic>R</italic>
<sup>2</sup>
), as it has a natural relationship to SNP heritability
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b12">12</xref>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b42">42</xref>
. Intuitively, better localization of the true effect-sizes will reduce noise in training the predictor and increase accuracy. If the functional atlas identified regions with increased heritability, this information should significantly improve the prediction. We evaluated three standard models of risk prediction: GRS; BLUP (ref.
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b43">43</xref>
); and multi-component BLUP (ref.
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b14">14</xref>
). The GRS was computed as a sum over SNPs of the log odds-ratios from the training sample
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b41">41</xref>
. The set of SNPs used was either the genome-wide significant markers in the training set (restricted to one per 1 MB locus) or the genome-wide significant markers identified in a recent large GWAS of PrCa
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b2">2</xref>
. In contrast to the GRS, the BLUP used all markers in the data to form the prediction. The standard BLUP was estimated using GCTA over all SNPs. The multi-component BLUP was estimated using the components in the selected model (jointly) to compute a single score equal to the sum of the predictions from each component weighted by their component-specific
<inline-formula id="d33e4407">
<inline-graphic id="d33e4408" xlink:href="ncomms10979-m50.jpg"></inline-graphic>
</inline-formula>
. This is analogous to specifying a different prior on the effect-size variance in each component. All predictions were carried out by cross-validation in the full iCOGS data, removing 1,000 individuals in each fold. Prediction R
<sup>2</sup>
was then computed from a regression of phenotype on the predictor score with 10 PCs included as covariates to account for ancestry, subsequently subtracting the
<italic>R</italic>
<sup>2</sup>
=0.021 from a model with PCs only.
<italic>P</italic>
values were estimated for each of the coefficients in the multiple regression of phenotype ∼ GRS+single-BLUP+multi-BLUP+PCs. To ensure that prediction across data sets was independent, we carefully removed all iCOGS individuals with a GRM value of >0.05 to any individual in the BPC3 when computing BLUP coefficients. We separately analysed the predictor in 26,000 iCOGS samples that had age at diagnosis, but did not observe significant differences before/after including age as a covariate.</p>
