On the basis of recent data from candidate region/gene and genome-wide association
studies (GWAS) and their follow-up investigations, the number of genes potentially …

Schizophrenia (SZ) is a complex and strongly heritable mental disorder, which is also
associated with developmental–environmental triggers. As opposed to most diagnosable …

Genome-wide association studies have transformed psychiatric genetics and provided novel
insights into the genetic etiology of psychiatric disorders. Two major discoveries have …

Breakthroughs in genomics have begun to unravel the genetic architecture of schizophrenia
risk, providing methods for quantifying schizophrenia polygenic risk based on common …

The most recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of schizophrenia (SCZ) identified
hundreds of risk variants potentially implicated in the disease. Further, novel statistical …

The effort to understandthe nature of the genetic risk for schizophrenia began more than 100
years ago. Since then, many studies have confirmed schizophrenia is strongly familial …

The complex aetiology of schizophrenia is postulated to share components with other
psychiatric disorders. We investigated pleiotropy amongst the common variant genomics of …

A common belief among statistical geneticists is that genomewide association studies
1(GWAS) rendered candidate gene studies 2 obsolete. It is also widely believed that nearly …

Epidemiologists and geneticists have tended to explore their respective domains
independently, and as a consequence, these fields have drifted apart. The aim of this article …

The heritability of schizophrenia is well established, and has motivated the search for
genetic variation that contributes to susceptibility. Recent progress from both genome-wide …
