TL;DR: In a genome-wide search for CNVs associating with schizophrenia, a population-based sample was used to identify de novo CNVs by analysing 9,878 transmissions from parents to offspring and three deletions significantly associate with schizophrenia and related psychoses in the combined sample.

TL;DR: Recombination rates are significantly correlated with both cytogenetic structures and sequence and paternal chromosomes show many differences in locations of recombination maxima, suggesting that there is some underlying component determined by both genetic and environmental factors that affects maternal recombination rates.

TL;DR: Findings implicating the MHC region are consistent with an immune component to schizophrenia risk, whereas the association with NRGN and TCF4 points to perturbation of pathways involved in brain development, memory and cognition.
