Please see Tables S8-S10 for details of this process, but, in brief for h 2 , class I includes those PMs with very high (≥ 0.75) inter-rater agreement and a statistically significant (after multiple-testing correction) large (≥ 0.20) narrow-sense heritability; class II includes those PMs with nominally significant (but that do not survive multiple-testing correction) large (≥ 0.20) narrow-sense heritability with very high (≥ 0.75) inter-rater agreement; class III is like class II less the inter-rater agreement; class IV is a collection of PMs that might give some suggestive evidence of narrow-sense heritability (≥ 0.20) but without any statistical significance but with some inter-rater agreement; finally, class V collects the PMs arguably without support for narrow-sense heritability.
Although no formal multiple comparison computations have been done, the fact that: (1) many of the nominal p-values for associations of T1D with outcomes were at the P <.0001 level, (2) the relevant findings were all in the direction of higher risk for T1D group, and (3) the 3 composite variables were associated with the T1D with P <.0001, allow us to infer that the majority of the nominally significant findings are not due to type 1 errors.
It is critical to state that this is a secondary, exploratory finding from an underpowered study, and the nominally significant p-value should be interpreted with caution; nonetheless, the potential clinical impact of reducing extreme prematurity makes this a hypothesis worthy of serious consideration and future validation.
