Susceptibility genes for schizophrenia: mutant models, endophenotypes and psychobiology.

Abstract excerpt

Schizophrenia is characterised by a multifactorial aetiology that involves genetic liability interacting with epigenetic and environmental factors to increase risk for developing the disorder. A consensus view is that the genetic component involves several common risk alleles of small effect and/or rare but penetrant copy number variations.
