Panic disorder (PD) is an anxiety disorder characterized by recurrent and unexpected panic attacks, subsequent worry and phobic avoidance. Although a number of association and linkage studies have been conducted, no gene has been identified as a susceptibility locus. We previously conducted a genome-wide association analysis of PD in 200 Japanese patients and the same number of controls, using a 500 K single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) chip. In this study, we report a replication analysis of PD using the DigTag2 assay. The second stage sample consisted of 558 Japanese patients and 566 controls. Thirty-two markers were tested in a replication sample. As a result, no significant association was found after correction for multiple testing. However, the difference was observed at the nominal allele P-value
