Abstract

Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a common, complex and severe psychiatric disorder associated with many different genetic and environmental risk factors. Evidence from genetic studies has revealed the role of genome structural variations, specifically copy number variants (CNVs), in the etiology of SCZ. Nevertheless, the occurrence of CNVs and their relation to SCZ has remained relatively unstudied in the diverse Han Chinese population. We used a case/control paradigm, including 476 cases and 1023 controls. All samples were genotyped using the Axiom® Exome Genotyping Arrays. Four CNVs, including two deletions and two duplications, were detected in this study. Notably, the 16p11.2 duplication from 29.3 Mb to 29.6 Mb was detected in four cases (0.84%) and one control (0.098%) (p = 0.0377). The results highlight the potential role of these deletions and duplications in the development of SCZ. Clearly, larger sample sized studies are needed for a careful localization of these CNVs and to possibly detect more deletions and/or duplications, associated with the development of SCZ in the Han Chinese population.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 January 2017.
All research outputs
#20,655,488
of 25,373,627 outputs
Outputs from Hereditas
#398
of 513 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#322,044
of 423,765 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Hereditas
#3
of 4 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,373,627 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 513 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.0. This one is in the 13th percentile – i.e., 13% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 423,765 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 13th percentile – i.e., 13% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 4 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
