For the complete list and description of the studies, see Supplementary materials. ASTERISK, Colo2&3, DALS Set 2, DACHS Set 1, PMH-CCFR, MEC, PLCO Set 2, WHI Set 2 and VITAL were genotyped on the Illumina CytoSNP BeadChip. WHI Set 1 was genotyped using Illumina 550K, 550K duo, and 610K platforms (only 550K and 550K duo if not utilizing hip fracture controls). PLCO Set 1 was genotyped using Illumina 550K and 610K platforms (also the 550K Duo platform if using the PLCO rematch set). DALS Set 1 was genotyped using Illumina 610K and 550K platforms. OFCCR was genotyped using Affymetrix GeneChip Human mapping 100K and 500K Array Set and a 10K non-synonymous SNP chip. CCFR was genotyped using Illumina Human1M and Human1M-Duo platforms. DACHS Set 2, HPFS, NHS, and PHS were genotyped on the OmniExpress platform.
