Abstract

The genetics of schizophrenia The genetics of schizophrenia and other mental disorders are complex and poorly understood, and made even harder to study because reduced reproduction rates result in negative selection pressure on risk alleles. To date, some copy number variations have been linked to schizophrenia but the studies have been relatively small. Now two independent large-scale genome-wide studies of thousands of patients and controls by two international consortia confirm a previously identified locus but also reveal novel associations. In the first study, a collaboration between SGENE and partners, de novo (spontaneous) copy number variants are reported on chromosomes 1 and 15. In the second study, by the International Schizophrenia Consortium, deletions were also reported on these chromosomes, as was greater overall frequency of copy number variation in the genome.
