A study has implicated specific genes and synaptic biology in the development of schizophrenia. The research, which is reportedly one of the largest of its kind, has identified genetic loci that may contribute to the risk of schizophrenia. The findings are part of a broader effort to understand the genetic architecture of psychiatric disorders, including their shared genetic underpinnings.
