Genotyping of each data set was performed locally. Strict quality control measures were implemented at each site and are detailed in eAppendix 1. For the meta-analysis, we implemented quality control procedures to ensure that data from individual studies were analyzed correctly. Specifically, we examined univariate and multivariate distributions of all the variables in each study to ensure consistent coding within and across studies.
