Supplementary Information

Statistical methods for Case-control epistasis analysis:

We used logistic regression modelto test both additive and dominant genetic effects and adjust for age and BMI.

First the SNPs were tested one at a time to check the significance of their main effect. The model being used is:

where denote the probability for Observation i developing Schizophrenia, denote the intercept, is the age of Observation i, is the BMI of Observation i, is the square of BMI of Observation i, is the additive effect of SNP j and is the dominant effect deviated from additive effect of SNP j. , i=1 to 5, is the coeffcient of those variables.

Then logistic regression model was used to test pairwise gene-gene interaction for all combinations of the 26 SNPs. Two models were fitted as follows,

where denote the probability for Observation i developing Schizophrenia, denote the intercept, is the age of Observation i, is the BMI of Observation i, is the square of BMI of Observation i, is the additive effect of SNP j and is the dominant effect deviated from additive effect of SNP j, is the additive effect of SNP k and is the dominant effect deviated from additive effect of SNP k. , i=1 to 11, is the coeffcient of those variables.

Deviance was calculated for both models and test was performed to test the over all significance of all the interaction effect.

Statistical methods for eQTLepistasis analysis:

We tested for association between gene expression level and haplotype of the two spotted SNPs using a linear model approach.

For those sub-regions in which each subject only has one sample, one linear model was fitted as follows.

where denote the intercept, is an indicator variable which denotes whether the sample is a certain haplotype and is the coeffcient of . F test was used to test the overall significance of all . False Discovery Rate (FDR) corrections were applied to control the family wise error rate.

For those sub-regions in which each subject only has multiple samples, two linear model was fitted as follows.

where and have the same meaning as the previous one, is a random effect which accounts for the variability brought by the subject. Deviance test was used to test the overall significance of all . Again, False Discovery Rate (FDR) corrections were applied to control the family wise error rate as well.
