Abstract excerpt
Whole-exome sequencing (WES) studies have shown that de-novo variants contribute to the genetic etiology of schizophrenia. WES studies of families with a monozygotic twin pair concordant or discordant for a disease may be fruitful for identifying de-novo pathogenic variants. Here, we performed WES in six individuals from one family (affected monozygotic twins, their unaffected parents, and two siblings) and...
