TL;DR: This study has demonstrated that careful use of a shared control group represents a safe and effective approach to GWA analyses of multiple disease phenotypes; generated a genome-wide genotype database for future studies of common diseases in the British population; and shown that, provided individuals with non-European ancestry are excluded, the extent of population stratification in theBritish population is generally modest.

TL;DR: The design and development of the CIDI is described and the current field testing of a slightly reduced "core" version is described, allowing investigators reliably to assess mental disorders according to the most widely accepted nomenclatures in many different populations and cultures.

TL;DR: Empirical evidence of shared genetic etiology for psychiatric disorders can inform nosology and encourages the investigation of common pathophysiologies for related disorders.

TL;DR: An operational criteria checklist for psychotic illness and computer programs designed to be used in conjunction with it constitute the OPCRIT system, which provides a simple and reliable method of applying multiple operational diagnostic criteria in studies of psychotic illness.

TL;DR: An analysis of all 11,974 bipolar disorder cases and 51,792 controls confirmed genome-wide significant evidence of association for CACNA1C and identified a new intronic variant in ODZ4, and a pathway comprised of subunits of calcium channels enriched in bipolar disorder association intervals was identified.
