We thank the study participants, and the research staff at the study sites. This study was supported by funding from the National Institute of Mental Health (USA) and the National Alliance for Research on Schizophrenia and Depression. Genotyping of part of the sample was supported by the Genetic Association Information Network (GAIN), and by The Paul Michael Donovan Charitable Foundation. Genotyping was carried out by the Center for Genotyping and Analysis at the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT with support from the National Center for Research Resources (USA). The GAIN quality control team (G. R. Abecasis and J. Paschall) made important contributions to the project. We thank S. Purcell for assistance with PLINK.

Author Contributions J.S., D.F.L. and P.V.G. wrote the first draft of the paper. P.V.G., D.F.L., A.R.S., B.J.M., A.O., F.A., C.R.C., J.M.S., N.G.B., W.F.B., D.W.B., R.R.C. and R.F. oversaw the recruitment and clinical assessment of MGS participants, and the clinical aspects of the project and analysis. A.R.S., D.F.L. and P.V.G. performed database curation. D.F.L., J.S., I.P., F.D., P.A.H., A.S.W. and P.V.G. designed the analytical strategy and analysed the data. D.B.M. oversaw the Affymetrix 6.0 genotyping, and J.D., Y.Z., A.R.S. and P.V.G. performed the preparative genotyping and experimental work. J.R.O. contributed to the interpretation of data in the MHC/HLA region, and K.S.K. contributed to the approach to clinical data. P.V.G. coordinated the overall study. All authors contributed to the current version of the paper.
