Genome-Wide Association Study of Schizophrenia


ABSTRACT:

The goal of the study is to find susceptibility genes for schizophrenia.

Dataset versioning

  • Version 1: European-American (EA) ancestry only
  • Version 2: Version 1 plus African-American (AA) ancestry

Consent groups and participant set

  • General research use (GRU): 4591 cases and controls (1217 EA cases, 1442 EA controls, 953 AA cases, 979 AA controls)
    This consent group includes a subset of schizophrenia cases and all controls (which overlap with Bipolar study controls in Bipolar: GRU dataset).
  • Schizophrenia and related disorders (SARC): 475 cases (187 EA cases, 288 AA cases)
    This consent group includes a subset of schizophrenia cases.

Schizophrenia, a devastating psychiatric disorder, has a prevalence of 0.5-1%, with high heritability (80-85%) and complex transmission. Recent studies implicate rare, large, high-penetrance copy number variants in some cases, but the genes or biological mechanisms that underlie susceptibility are not known. Here we show that schizophrenia is significantly associated with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the extended major histocompatibility complex region on chromosome 6. We carried ou  ...[more]
