Results of two independent association tests are reported: (i) a Fisher test treating individuals with a given mCA type as cases; and (ii) (for cis associations) a binomial test for biased allelic imbalance in heterozygous cases (Methods). All loci reaching P<1×10−8 in either test are reported; each cis association detected by one test reached nominal (P<0.05) significance in the other test. At significant loci, the lead associated variant as well as additional independent associations reaching P<1×10−6 are reported.

a

Risk lowering/risk increasing allele.

b

Risk allele frequency (in UK Biobank European-ancestry individuals).

c

Number of mosaic individuals heterozygous for the variant in which the somatic event shifted the allelic balance in favor of the risk allele (by duplication of its chromosomal segment and/or loss of the homologous segment).

d

rs118137427 tags expanded repeats at FRA10B (Fig. 3).

e

rs369156948 is a nonsense mutation in MPL.

f

This deletion spans chr15:102.15–102.22Mb (hg19) and is tagged by rs182643535.
