Here, we introduce cross-trait assortative mating (xAM) as an alternative explanation. We observe that xAM affects many phenotypes and that phenotypic cross-mate correlation estimates are strongly associated with genetic correlation estimates (\n                    <jats:italic>R<\/jats:italic>\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    = 74%). We demonstrate that existing xAM plausibly accounts for substantial fractions of genetic correlation estimates and that previously reported genetic correlation estimates between some pairs of psychiatric disorders are congruent with xAM alone. Finally, we provide evidence for a history of xAM at the genetic level using cross-trait even\/odd chromosome polygenic score correlations. Together, our results demonstrate that previous reports have likely overestimated the true genetic similarity between many phenotypes.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1126\/science.abo2059","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,17]],"date-time":"2022-11-17T13:58:33Z","timestamp":1668693513000},"page":"754-761","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":158,"title":["Cross-trait assortative mating is widespread and inflates genetic correlation estimates"],"prefix":"10.1126","volume":"378","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6293-2968","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Richard","family":"Border","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA."},{"name":"Department of Computer Science, University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA."},{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, Harvard T.H.
