The Framingham Heart Study work was conducted in part using data and resources from the Framingham Heart Study of the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health and Boston University School of Medicine (contract #N01-HC-25195) , its contract with Affymetrix for genotyping services (contract #N02-HL-6-4278), and the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation (C.N.-C.) and Burroughs Wellcome Fund (C.N.-C.). The Framingham analyses reflect intellectual input and resource development from the Framingham Heart Study investigators participating in the SNP Health Association Resource (SHARe) project. A portion of this research utilized the Linux Cluster for Genetic Analysis (LinGA-II) funded by the Robert Dawson Evans Endowment of the Department of Medicine at Boston University School of Medicine and Boston Medical Center. The measurement of ECG intervals in Framingham Heart Study generation 1 and 2 samples was done by eResearchTechnology and supported by an unrestricted grant from Pfizer. The measurement of ECG intervals in the Framingham Heart Study generation 3 sample was completed by A. Hirji and S. Kovvali using AMPS software provided through an unrestricted academic license by Analyzing Medical Parameters for Solutions (A.M.P.S., LLC). The Rotterdam Study is funded by Erasmus Medical Center and Erasmus University, Rotterdam, Netherlands Organization for the Health Research and Development (ZonMw), the Research Institute for Diseases in the Elderly (RIDE), the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science, the Ministry for Health, Welfare and Sports, the European Commission (DG XII), and the Municipality of Rotterdam.

The authors wish to thank the following people: G. Crawford and C. Guiducci (Broad Institute of Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology) who completed the Sequenom-based technical validation genotyping of the Framingham Heart Study samples; P. Arp and M. Jhamai (Erasmus Medical Center) for Illumina array genotyping and Taqman-based technical validation genotyping of the Rotterdam Study samples; and Dr. M. Moorhouse, M. Verkerk and S. Bervoets (Erasmus Medical Center) for database management in the Rotterdam Study; and the study participants, the staff from the Rotterdam Study and the participating general practitioners and pharmacists. The QTGEN consortium would like to thank the QTSCD consortium for the opportunity to exchange top results pre-publication.
