A genome-wide association study of 69,369 schizophrenia cases and 236,642 controls identifies 270 risk loci, prioritizes 130 genes, and links common and rare risk variants to neuronal synaptic biology.

Exomes of 24,248 schizophrenia cases and 97,322 controls implicate ultra-rare damaging variants in 10 genes, including GRIN2A and GRIA3, with odds ratios of 3 to 50.

This study evaluates the prognostic value of polygenic risk scores for schizophrenia and finds they do not improve outcome prediction beyond clinical features.

The study finds that rare copy number variants (CNVs) contribute to bipolar disorder risk primarily in schizoaffective disorder bipolar type cases, with differences in CNV burden and schizophrenia polygenic risk scores between subtypes.

The paper discusses challenges in genetic analysis of deep phenotyping projects in common disorders and highlights advances in imputation and GWAS methods to address these challenges.

The paper reports GWAS findings linking common variants in NRXN1, LRP1B, and RORA to increased ventricular volumes in psychosis, using deep phenotyping data from 1,115 cases and controls.
