Joint additive/dominant model: For each of those 13 hits, we then assessed a 2-df model which revealed three associations - all novel - with strong recessive patterns
 – NLRP10 → Viral pneumonia risk
 – HSD17B14 → Bone density disorders
 – NCAPD2 → Vitamin B₁₂ levels

Recessive association scan (a recessive #GWAS), testing for 54 quantitative alongside 439 binary phenotypes derived from EHR. We identified 13 genome-wide significant associations (P < 2.9×10⁻⁷), highlighting both known and novel signals.
