How many genes are involved in schizophrenia? A simple simulation.

Abstract excerpt

We attempted to estimate how many genes are involved in schizophrenia using a simulation based on the polygenic threshold model. The basic assumptions were as follows: (1) All genes involved are transmitted independently; (2) every locus is composed of two alleles - one pathogenic and the other n...
