SCHIZOPHRENIA BREAKTHROUGH: Scientists use artificial intelligence to identify 413 genes

The project analysed 40,299 people with schizophrenia and 62,264 matched controls and it also found different parts of the brain pose different risk associated with schizophrenia.

It is hoped the research will help to “shape the future” for other similar projects in the fight against the illness.

Ms Huckings added: “By laying the groundwork for combining transcriptomic imputation and genome-wide association study findings, our hope is to not only elucidate gene development as it relates to schizophrenia, but also shape the future of research methods and design.”
