## Column mapping

Column	Description
`af`	In-sample ALT allele frequency of the variant
`beta_shape1`	Parameter of the fitted Beta distribution
`beta_shape2`	Parameter of the fitted Beta distribution
`end_distance`	Distance between the variant and phenotype end position (only present if different from start position)
`ma_count`	Number of minor alleles
`ma_samples`	Number of samples carrying at least one minor allele
`num_var`	Number of variants in cis-window
`phenotype_id`	Phenotype ID
`pval_beta`	Beta-approximated empirical p-value
`pval_nominal`	Nominal p-value of the association between the phenotype and variant
`pval_perm`	Empirical p-value from permutations
`pval_true_df`	Nominal p-value based on true_df
`rank`	Rank of the variant for the phenotype
`slope`	Regression slope
`slope_se`	Standard error of the regression slope
`start_distance`	Distance between the variant and phenotype start position (e.g., TSS)
`true_df`	Degrees of freedom used to compute p-values
`variant_id`	Variant ID
