  1. aOdds ratio and 95% confidence interval (an increase of one standard deviation in the corresponding PRS) were estimated by logistic regression models, adjusting for birth year, sex, genotyping array, and significant ancestry principal components (for any COVID-19: PC5, PC9, PC23, PC25, PC26, and PC27, and for severe COVID-19: PC1, PC5, PC9, PC25, PC31, and PC39)
