Patients received diagnoses according to the indicated diagnostic criteria and interviews. Protocols and procedures were approved by the local Ethics Committees. Written informed consent was obtained from all patients and controls. Ancestry was assigned to patients and controls on the basis of self-reported ancestry. The samples from Bosnia and Herzegovina / Serbia were merged due to the small number of subjects. The Expanded Reference Group for the WTCCC-BD sample comprised the 1958 British Birth Cohort controls, the UK Blood Services controls supplemented by the other 6 disease sets (coronary artery disease, Crohn's disease, hypertension, rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 and type 2 diabetes) as defined by the WTCCC (2007).1
