    Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified >100 susceptibility loci for schizophrenia (SCZ) and demonstrated that SCZ is a polygenic disorder determined by numerous genetic variants but with small effect size. We conducted a GWAS in the Japanese (JPN) population (a) to detect novel SCZ-susceptibility genes and (b) to examine the shared genetic risk of SCZ across (East Asian [EAS] and European [EUR]) populations and/or that of trans-diseases (SCZ, bipolar disorder [BD], and major depressive disorder [MDD]) within EAS and between EAS and EUR (trans-diseases/populations). Among the discovery GWAS subjects (JPN-SCZ GWAS: 1940 SCZ cases and 7408 controls) and replication dataset (4071 SCZ cases and 54479 controls), both comprising JPN populations, 3 novel susceptibility loci for SC

  • Genome-wide association analysis identifies 30 new susceptibility loci for schizophrenia. - Nature genetics (2017) · Li Z, Chen J, Yu H, He L, Xu Y, Zhang D, Yi Q, Li C, Li X, Shen J, Song Z, Ji W, Wang M, Zhou J, Chen B, Liu Y, Wang J, Wang P, Yang P, Wang Q, Feng G, Liu B, Sun W, Li B, He G, Li W, Wan C, Xu Q, Li W, Wen Z, Liu K, Huang F, Ji J, Ripke S, Yue W, Sullivan PF, O'Donovan MC, Shi Y · PubMed 28991256

    We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) with replication in 36,180 Chinese individuals and performed further transancestry meta-analyses with data from the Psychiatry Genomics Consortium (PGC2). Approximately 95% of the genome-wide significant (GWS) index alleles (or their proxies) from the PGC2 study were overrepresented in Chinese schizophrenia cases, including ∼50% that achieved nominal significance and ∼75% that continued to be GWS in the transancestry analysis. The Chinese-only analysis identified seven GWS loci; three of these also were GWS in the transancestry analyses, which identified 109 GWS loci, thus yielding a total of 113 GWS loci (30 novel) in at least one of these analyses. We observed improvements in the fine-mapping resolution at many susceptibility loci.

  • Mapping genomic loci implicates genes and synaptic biology in schizophrenia - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 35396580

    ABSTRACT: SUMMARY Schizophrenia has a heritability of 60-80%, much of which is attributable to common risk alleles. Here, in a 2-stage genome-wide association study of up to 76,755 people with schizophrenia and 243,649 controls, we report common variant associations at 287 distinct genomic loci. Associations were concentrated in genes expressed in CNS neurons, excitatory and inhibitory, but not other tissues or cell types. Using fine-mapping and functional genomic data, we identify 120 genes (106 protein-coding) as likely to underpin associations at some of these loci, including 16 genes with credible causal non-synonymous or UTR variation. We also implicate fundamental processes related to neuronal function, including synaptic organisation, differentiation, and transmission. Fine-mapped
