Genetics of schizophrenia: new findings and challenges

Gejman, Pablo V., Sanders, Alan R., Kendler, Kenneth S.·2011·Annual Review of Genomics and Human Genetics

Abstract

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 aggregate data increasingly support a combination of rare and common genetic variation in schizophrenia, a major role for polygenic inheritance, and a genetic overlap of schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders, such as bipolar disorder and autism. The current and upcoming resequencing programs (full exomes to full genomes), in combination with the use of more informative genotyping arrays, will allow a more thorough dissection of the molecular genetics of the disorder. A main challenge for the field is the translation of established genetic associations into a better pathophysiological understanding of schizophrenia.

  • Current models of schizophrenia suggest that the disorder is due to both common and rare gene mutations, copy-number variations, and possibly epigenetic factors, all of which can affect multiple brain neurotransmitter systems and multiple risk genes.

    “Current models of schizophrenia suggest that the disorder is due to both common and rare gene mutations, copy-number variations, and possibly epigenetic factors [361], all of which can affect multiple brain neurotransmitter systems and multiple risk genes [362-364].”
  • Similar copy number variants are found across many genomic loci in both ASD and schizophrenia.

    “This observation is consistent with recent reports that similar copy number variants (CNVs) are found across many genomic loci in both ASD and schizophrenia (Cook and Scherer, 2008; Gejman et al., 2011; Moreno-De-Luca et al., 2010; Sanders et al., 2011).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
