Abstract excerpt
While genome-wide association (GWA) studies have yielded notable findings with regard to the identification of risk variants in diseases such as obesity and diabetes, similar studies of schizophrenia - and neuropsychiatric diseases in general - have failed to produce strong findings. One, plausible explanation for this relates to phenotypic heterogeneity and what may be inherent imprecision associated with...
