Compliance with Ethical Standards
:
: There was no participant contact for the current study, as it was a meta-analysis of previously collected genetic data. Two of the three studied samples (MGSOSO and Hamer) describe ethical aspects in their earlier manuscripts in more detail, but we briefly summarize here. For the third sample, the Canadian one (Ramagopalan et al., CitationRef removed), we only meta-analyzed published summary statistics, i.e., we used no individual level data. For MGSOSO, institutional review board (IRB) approval was obtained from NorthShore University HealthSystem, and all participants provided informed consent (Sanders et al., CitationRef removed). For the Hamer dataset, IRB approval was obtained from the National Cancer Institute, and all participants provided informed consent (Mustanski et al., CitationRef removed).
