TL;DR: It is concluded that duplications and perhaps also deletions of chromosome 16p13.1, previously reported to be associated with autism and MR, also confer risk of schizophrenia.

TL;DR: Diagnostic agreement is higher among chronic patients than that observed in subjects with a recent onset of psychosis, although considerable discordance is also observed in this chronic sample, demonstrating the conventional nature of the present schizophrenia diagnoses and the need for biologically founded diagnostic criteria.

TL;DR: Genotyped two single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the ApoD gene in 343 chronic patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders and 346 control subjects of Danish origin and found that long-term clinical outcome was associated with the apolipoprotein D polymorphism rs7659.

TL;DR: The present results, although not robust, support the importance of more extensive investigations of GRIK3, given its potential role in mediating risk for schizophrenia.
