Objectives: Schizophrenia is a severe psychiatric disease affecting about 1% of the general
population. The relative contribution of genetic factors has been estimated to be up to 80 …

The work conducted using genome-wide approaches during the past several years has
invigorated the field, and represents the dawn of molecular genetics of schizophrenia. The …

After two decades of frustration, genetic studies of schizophrenia have entered an era of
spectacular success. Advances in genotyping technologies and high throughput …

The genetic basis of schizophrenia has been a hotly debated research topic for decades, yet
recent studies, especially in the past year, have confirmed genetics as the major cause of …

We have used a translational convergent functional genomics (CFG) approach to identify
and prioritize genes involved in schizophrenia, by gene-level integration of genome-wide …

New findings in schizophrenia genetics are based on genome-wide association studies
(GWAS), research into DNA copy number variations (CNVs), and endophenotypes. More …

Twin, adoption and family studies have provided overwhelming but indirect evidence for a
significant genetic contribution to the etiology of schizophrenia. More recent studies …

Genetics constitute a crucial risk factor to schizophrenia. In the last decade, molecular
genetic research has produced novel findings, infusing optimism about discovering the …

There has been substantial progress in understanding the genetics of schizophrenia over
the past 15 years. This has revealed a highly polygenic condition with the majority of the …

BACKGROUND:: Genetic epidemiologic studies suggest that individual variation in
susceptibility to schizophrenia is substantially genetic. However, like other common …
