The genetics of a “femaleness/maleness” score in cardiometabolic traits in the UK biobank

Abstract We recently devised continuous “sex-scores” that sum up multiple quantitative traits, weighted by their respective sex-difference effect sizes, as an approach to estimating polyphenotypic “maleness/femaleness” within each binary sex. To identify the genetic architecture underlying these sex...
