Text

Although this is one of the largest GWAS analyses ever conducted in psychiatry (second only to the PGC schizophrenia study),37 the sample size may still have been too small. The very small but highly significant variance explained in the polygenic risk score analyses (P<10−6 testing one hypothesis) is consistent with a hypothesis of insufficient power in this study.
