Abstract excerpt
Schizophrenia is a complex mental disorder with high degree of genetic influence in its etiology. Several recent studies revealed that copy number variations (CNVs) of genomic DNA contributed significantly to the genetic architecture of sporadic schizophrenia. This study aimed to investigate whether CNVs also contribute to the familial forms of schizophrenia. Using array-based comparative genomic hybridization...
