Most reports of schizophrenia genetic risk have focused on individuals of European ancestry. Leveraging the publicly-available 1000 Genomes Project data, this new study expands upon previous work to include a Chinese cohort in a genome-wide association study that identified 30 new genetic risk loci for schizophrenia.
