The three deletions nominally significant in phase I were tested for association in follow up samples from Germany, Scotland, The Netherlands, Denmark, Norway and China. All three deletions associate with schizophrenia and related psychoses in the combined phase I and II samples (the multiple testing significance threshold is 0.05/66=7.6×10−4). P-values in the table (uncorrected for the 66 tests) are from the exact Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test and are two-sided. Coordinates are based on Build 36 assembly of the human genome. 95% confidence intervals are given within brackets. NA, not analysed.

Samples were measured using Taqman assays. Samples with CNVs identified by measuring gene dosage by a Taqman assay were verified and confirmed by genotyping the respective samples using the HumanCNV370 chip. A limited amount of DNA was available for genotyping the Chinese samples.
