Identification of specific genes involved in schizophrenia aetiology - what difference does it make?

Abstract excerpt

Genes in which rare, damaging variants substantially increase risk of developing schizophrenia have now been identified. These findings can influence how we think about mental illness in general as well as yielding specific insights into schizophrenia aetiology. Better understanding of underlying biology might eventually lead to improved treatments.
