The largest genomic dragnet of any psychiatric disorder to date has
unmasked 108 chromosomal sites harboring inherited variations in the
genetic code linked to
schizophrenia,
83 of which had not been previously reported. By contrast, the
“skyline” of such suspect variants associated with the disorder
contained only 5 significant peaks in 2011. By combining data from all
available schizophrenia genetic samples, researchers supported by the
National Institutes of Health powered the search for clues to the
molecular basis of the disorder to a new level.
