TL;DR: The results suggest that ZNF804A is a common risk gene for schizophrenia in world populations and that the newly identified functional SNP (rs359895) is likely a risk SNP for schizophrenia.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that GSK3β is likely a risk gene for schizophrenia, and its expression alteration caused by the risk SNP in the promoter region may contribute to the etiology of schizophrenia.

TL;DR: It is suggested that ZNF804A may also contribute to schizophrenia susceptibility in Asians although the risk SNP is different from that in Europeans, and this suggests the compounding difficulty of genetic studies of complex diseases like schizophrenia when studying multiple ethnic populations.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that RELN is a susceptibility gene for schizophrenia in Chinese population, and it is likely a common risk gene for schizophrenic disease in major populations worldwide.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided of the association of 5q22–33 with schizophrenia in Han Chinese and this chromosomal region is likely responsible for genetic susceptibility to schizophrenia, supporting previous data from European patients and consistent with the hypothesis that genes contributing to schizophrenia are likely under positive selection during human evolution.
