All analyses present here were performed on four subsets of the data: all available cases and controls (MDD), all controls and recurrent cases (rMDD), female controls and cases (fMDD), and male controls and cases (mMDD). The total sample size for each depression subgroup was n = 43 062 for MDD, n = 39 556 for rMDD, n = 23 169 for fMDD and n = 19 886 for mMDD. The number of cases and controls and demographic information for these subsets are shown in Supplementary Table 1.
