A genome wide association study has identified four loci associated with early onset schizophrenia. Other studies have used similar methods to identify genetic loci associated with various conditions, including obsessive-compulsive disorder, asthma, and prostate cancer. The use of genome-wide association studies appears to be a common approach to identifying genetic factors influencing a range of diseases and traits.
