"We further define the Enrichment score (E-score) of a gene program as the difference between the heritability enrichment of the SNP annotation corresponding to the gene program of interest and the SNP annotation corresponding to a gene program assigning a probabilistic grade of 1 to all protein-coding genes with at least one enhancer-gene link in the relevant tissue (Methods). We use the p-value of the E-score as our primary metric, assessing statistical significance using a genomic block-jackknife as in our previous work11 [=S-LSSC] because the p-values can be compared across datasets, whereas the E-score magnitude can vary substantially in gene programs dominated by a smaller (or larger) number of genes. We primarily focus on E-scores greater than 2, because E-scores that are statistically significant but small in magnitude may have more limited biological importance, as the cell types underlying these E-scores may be tagging other causal cell types "

Challenge

This requires "h2" mode of LDSC which takes significant computing time
