Signatures of negative selection in the genetic architecture of human complex traits
Open accessPublished version of a preprint
Abstract
We develop a Bayesian mixed linear model that simultaneously estimates single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based heritability, polygenicity (proportion of SNPs with nonzero effects), and the relationship between SNP effect size and minor allele frequency for complex traits in conventionally unrelated individuals using genome-wide SNP data. We apply the method to 28 complex traits in the UK Biobank data (N = 126,752) and show that on average, 6% of SNPs have nonzero effects, which in total explain 22% of phenotypic variance. We detect significant (P < 0.05/28) signatures of natural selection in the genetic architecture of 23 traits, including reproductive, cardiovascular, and anthropometric traits, as well as educational attainment. The significant estimates of the relationship between effect size and minor allele frequency in complex traits are consistent with a model of negative (or purifying) selection, as confirmed by forward simulation. We conclude that negative selection acts pervasively on the genetic variants associated with human complex traits. BayesS estimates SNP-based heritability, polygenicity, and the relationship between effect size and minor allele frequency using genome-wide SNP data. Applying BayesS to UK Biobank data identifies signatures of natural selection for 23 complex traits.

In the citing paper
“In particular, background selection (i.e., the selective removal of deleterious alleles across the genome) appears to play a primary role in shaping the highly polygenic architecture of human traits and diseases [1, 7–9].”
From Denisovan and Neanderthal archaic introgression differentially impacted the genetics of complex traits in modern populations (2022) · cites this paper as [7]
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredIn the citing paper
“The relative contributions of common and rare variants indicate that, for many traits, particularly those with post-reproductive onset, purifying selection has had only limited effect45,56.”
From A brief history of human disease genetics (2020) · cites this paper as [56]
In the citing paper
“Given what we know now, common variants generally have small effects on disease risk (OR <1.15), and rare variants typically have larger effect sizes (>2.0), are more likely to be deleterious, and tend to be removed by natural selection (Fu et al., 2013; Nelson et al., 2012; Zeng et al., 2018).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
