: This study is based on the PGC-PTSD data freeze 1, which is an anonymized dataset. The cohorts contributing to the PGC-PTSD workgroup included in the present analysis are: Collaborative Genetic Study of Nicotine Dependence; Family Study of Cocaine Dependence; Yale-Penn; Grady Trauma Project; Marine Resilience Study; Nurses’ Health Study; and Ohio National Guard. Each of the contributing studies has an institutional review board-approved protocol to investigate the genetics of PTSD and provided the data consistent with their approved protocols. All studies involved in the PGC-PTSD workgroup comply with the Declaration of Helsinki. Additionally, we used GWAS summary statistics from the GIANT, Reprogen, and SSGAC consortia, which shared this information in accordance with the protocols approved for the cohorts participating in these studies.
