Blood samples were collected from cases, and blood or saliva samples were collected from parents of cases. When blood collection was scheduled in conjunction with a surgical procedure, the sample was collected before any blood transfusion. DNA extraction was performed using standard techniques. Genome-wide microarray genotyping was performed at the CHOP Center for Applied Genomics [14 (link)]. The CHOP samples were genotyped using the Illumina HumanOmni-2.5, Illumina HumanHap550 (v2 or v3), or 610 BeadChip platforms, and the PCGC samples were genotyped on the Illumina HumanOmni-1 or 2.5 platforms.
