TL;DR: The high prevalence of schizophrenia in this group suggests that chromosome 22q11 might harbor a gene or genes relevant to the etiology of schizophrenic disease in the wider population.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found evidence of some degree of overlap in the biological underpinnings of susceptibility to mental illness across the clinical spectrum of mood and psychotic disorders, and showed that at least some loci can have a relatively general effect on susceptibility to diagnostic categories, as currently defined.

TL;DR: There was no evidence for variation in COMT activity between a group of schizophrenic patients and matched comparison subjects.

TL;DR: Hamshere, Hamshere et al. as discussed by the authors, JTR Walters, R Smith, AL Richards, E Green, D Grozeva, I Jones, L Forty, L Jones, K Gordon-Smith, B Riley, T O'Neill, KS Kendler, P Sklar, S Purcell, J Kranz, J Morris, M Gill, P Holmans, N Craddock, A Corvin, MJ Owen and MC O'Donovan

TL;DR: An association of lower EA and MDD risk is confirmed, but this association was not because of measurable pleiotropic genetic effects, which suggests that environmental factors could be involved, for example, socioeconomic status.
