Genetic relationship between five psychiatric disorders estimated from genome-wide SNPs.

Text

In each analysis, individuals were excluded to ensure that all cases and controls were completely unrelated in the classical sense, so that no pairs of individuals had a genome-wide similarity relationship greater than 0.05 (equivalent to about second cousins). This procedure removed ancestry outliers (over and above those already removed in the PGC quality control pipeline; Supplementary Fig. 2) and ensured that overlapping control sets were allocated randomly between disorders in the bivariate analyses. Exact numbers of cases and controls used in each analysis are listed in Supplementary Tables 1–8.
