Here we extend our previous genome-wide association study and meta-analysis (totalling 7 946 cases and 19 036 controls) by examining an expanded set of variants using an enlarged follow-up sample (up to 10 260 cases and 23 500 controls). In addition to previously reported alleles in the major histocompatibility complex region, near neurogranin (NRGN) and in an intron of transcription factor 4 (TCF4), we find two novel variants showing genome-wide significant association: rs2312147[C], upstream of vaccinia-related kinase 2 (VRK2) [odds ratio (OR) = 1.09, P = 1.9 × 10(-9)] and rs4309482[A], between coiled-coiled domain containing 68 (CCDC68) and TCF4, about 400 kb from the previously described risk allele, but not accounted for by its association (OR = 1.09, P = 7.8 × 10(-9)). ; European Union LSHM-CT-2006-037761 PIAP-GA-2008-218251 HEALTH-F2-2009-223423 National Genome Research Network of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) 01GS08144 01GS08147 National Institute of Mental Health R01 MH078075 N01 MH900001 MH074027 Centre of Excellence for Complex Disease Genetics of the Academy of Finland 213506 129680 Biocentrum Helsinki Foundation Faculty of Medicine, University of Helsinki Stanley Medical Research Institute Danish Council for Strategic Research 2101-07-0059 H.
