Topics of common diseases (encoded using the ICD-10 coding system, representing multimorbidity clusters) and individuals' weights for these topics were inferred by treeLFA from the diagnosis data in the UK Biobank. The inferred topic weights were used as continuous traits for GWAS. Logit transformation was applied to topic weights before fitting the linear regression models. Individuals' age, sex and the first ten principal components were controlled.
