| Sample Status |
Korean case-control samples. A total 701 individuals of unrelated patient and control sampleswere included in this study, which consisted of 349 controls and 352 patients with BD (254 bipolar I disorder [BDI], 98 bipolar II disorder [BDII]). Participants were all ethnically Korean.Japanese COSMO case-control samples. These samples were recruited through the COSMO (Collaborative Study of Mood Disorders) consortium [Iwayama et al., 2010], which comprises 860 unrelated bipolar patients (584 BDI, 276 BDII) and 895 age- and sex-matched controls. All samples are of Japanese origin. GWASdata in Taiwan. Genotype data of twoA NK3SNPs were obtained by a GWAS in Taiwan [Lee et al., 2010] and were kindly provided by Dr. Andrew Cheng (Institute of Biomedical Sciences, Academia Sinica, Taiwan). The samples consisted of 1,000 BDI patients and 1,000 normal controls . All samples are of Han Chinese origin. |

| Statistical Method |
Association between markers and BD in each individual population was assessed using the chi-square test. |
| Result Summary |
We could not detect any significant difference of allele frequency in individual analyses using each of the three populations. However, when we combined the three data sets and performed a meta-analysis, rs1938526 showed nominally significant association (P_=_0.048, odds ratio_=_1.09). The over-represented allele in BD was same as that reported in Caucasian GWASs. On the other hand, any significant association was not detected in rs10994336. This discrepancy between two SNPs may be explained by the different degree of linkage disequilibrium between Asian and Caucasian. These findings further supported the association between ANK3 and BD, and also suggested the genomic region around rs1938526 as a common risk locus across ethnicities. |
