Text

The comparison samples (2,455 population subjects of European ancestry) were collected for a GWAS of schizophrenia and have been described elsewhere (19). Briefly, the comparison subjects were drawn from a nationally representative U.S. survey panel ascertained via random digit dialing. Subjects were screened for psychosis and bipolar disorder but not for ADHD. A blood sample was collected via phlebotomy services. Comparison subjects gave written consent for their biological materials to be used for medical research at the discretion of the National Institute of Mental Health.
