New GWAS SCZ loci (nature genetics 2018)
March 5, 2018Common #schizophrenia alleles are enriched in mutation-intolerant genes & in regions under strong background selection
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41588-018-0059-2 50 novel SCZ loci & 145 loci in total, from #GWAS – associated w/ 33 candidate causal genes
QT:{{”
We report a new genome-wide association study of schizophrenia (11,260 cases and 24,542 controls), and through meta-analysis with existing data we identify 50 novel associated loci and 145 loci in total. Through integrating genomic fine-mapping with brain expression and chromosome conformation data, we identify candidate causal genes within 33 loci.
