>0.2) and one individual was excluded from each related pair (cases preferred kept over controls). Genetic outliers were identified for exclusion based on principal component analysis (PCA) using EIGENSOFT68,69. A genetic homogenous sample was defined based on a subsample of individuals being Danes for three generations (identified based on register information about birth country of the individuals, their parents and grandparents). The subsample of Danes was used to define the center based on the mean values of principal component (PC) 1 and PC2. Subsequently PC1 and PC2 were used to define a genetic homogenous population by excluding individuals outside an ellipsoid with axes greater than six standard deviations from the mean. After outlier exclusion PCA was redone and PCs from this analysis were included in the association analysis (see below).
