74 SNPs mapping to 68 GWAS risk loci were selected based on all available published GWAS and replication studies as of 31/01/2015. Capture regions were defined as the region that included all SNPs that were correlated (r2 ≥ 0.2) with the published SNP based on 1000 Genomes pilot data (http://www.1000genomes.org/; Supplementary Data 1). Biotinylated 120-mer RNA baits were designed to target both ends of the HindIII restriction fragments that mapped within these capture regions using Agilent eArray software (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA), using 2 × tiling, moderately stringent repeat masking and maximum performance boosting options.
