The FUSION stage 1 sample consists of 1,161 Finnish T2D cases and 1,174 Finnish normal glucose tolerant controls2. In addition, 122 FUSION offspring with genotyped parents were included for quality control purposes and quantitative trait analysis. Samples were genotyped with the Illumina HumanHap300 BeadChip (version 1.1). All samples included had a call frequency >0.975. 306,222 autosomal SNPs passed QC2 and had a HWE p≥10−6 in the total sample, ≤3 combined duplicate or non-Mendelian inheritance errors (out of 79 duplicate samples and 122 parent-offspring sets), call frequency ≥0.90, and MAF>0.01.
