    Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have reported multiple risk loci for schizophrenia (SCZ). However, the majority of the associations were from populations of European ancestry. Here we conducted a large-scale GWAS in Eastern Asian populations (29,519 cases and 44,392 controls) and identified ten Eastern Asian-specific risk loci, two of which have not been previously reported. A further cross-ancestry GWAS meta-analysis (96,806 cases and 492,818 controls) including populations from diverse ancestries identified 61 previously unreported risk loci. Systematic variant-level analysis, including fine mapping, functional genomics and expression quantitative trait loci, prioritized potential causal variants. Gene-level analyses, including transcriptome-wide association study, proteome-wide

  • 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
