List of 30 most significant GO categories for BD in the BD meta-analysis data set (cutoff for significant SNPs: p < 0.01). Genotyped and imputed SNPs used, with SNPs assigned to genes if they lie within that gene. The type of category and the expected number of categories with a category-specific overrepresentation p value at least as significant as that observed in the absence of any true overrepresentation are also shown.
