Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder affecting approximately 1% of the world's population. Here, we report the results from a three-stage genomewide screen performed in a study sample from an internal isolate of Finland. An effort was made to identify genes predisposing for schizophrenia that are potentially enriched in this isolate, which has an exceptionally high lifetime risk for this trait. Ancestors of...
