Sample Status |
Patient and control individuals were recruited in Scotland,Northern Sweden, and Belgium.The Belgian sample consists of 170 patients with schizophrenia (SZ), 264 patients with bipolar disorder (BPD),and 357 control individuals. The Swedish individuals originate from a geographically isolated population of the County of Vasterbotten in Northern Sweden. The Swedish sample consists of 543 SZ patients, 305 BPD patients, and 502 control individuals. The Scottish samples comprise a cohort of 1,104 cases(568 with SZ, 107 with BPD, 169 with major depressive disorder (MDD) and 260 with intellectual disability (ID)) and 351 controls. |

Genotyping |
Statistical Method |
the Multiplex Amplicon Quantification (MAQ) Technology |
Result Summary |
In all regions CNVs were found in the schizophrenia patient group.CNVsin 2p16.3 and 3q29 were only found in SZ patients and not in other disorders or controls. CNVs in other regions occurred in the schizophrenia group as well as in controls and at least in one other disorder group. Patients with ID or SZ had the highest number of CNVs in the analyzed regions (2.83% and 2.22%, respectively). Patients with BPD and MDD had an overall incidence of a CNV of 1.73% and 1.87%, respectively. The lowest number of CNVs was found in controls (1.12%). Both duplications and deletions are more frequent in patients than in controls, but deletions are much more frequent, with the exception of the BPD group: 1.62% of ID patients, 1.03% of SZ patients, and 0.63% of MDD patients carry a deletion in one of these regions, while this is the case in only 0.26% of all control individuals. |
