Bacteria positive SCS

Infection status


Bacteria negative SCS

Genetic correlation:

0.62 ± 0.02

0.51

Phenotypic correlation:

*Genetic and phenotypic correlations (± SE**) between bacteria negative SCS and bacteria positive SCS, and genetic correlation between bacteria negative SCS and infection status

**SE is not reported for the correlation between bacteria negative SCS and infection status, as it was estimated using a Bayesian approach

***No attempt was made to estimate a phenotypic correlation between bacteria negative SCS and infection status
