15 years of GWAS discovery: realizing the promise
It has been 15 years since the advent of the genome-wide association study (GWAS) era.
Here, we review how this experimental design has realized its promise by facilitating an …

Genome-wide association studies
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) test hundreds of thousands of genetic variants
across many genomes to find those statistically associated with a specific trait or disease …

Map** genomic loci implicates genes and synaptic biology in schizophrenia
Schizophrenia has a heritability of 60–80%, much of which is attributable to common risk
alleles. Here, in a two-stage genome-wide association study of up to 76,755 individuals with …
