GWAS
A research methodology that systematically scans large-scale population genomes to identify genetic variant loci statistically associated with specific diseases or traits. It represents a central research paradigm in modern human genetics.
Core Facts
Timeline (last 90 days)
GWAS research on schizophrenia has identified more than 300 associated genetic loci, but together they can only account for approximately 10% of the genetic risk.
Statistical genetics is a discipline that uses statistical methods to analyze associations between genetic variants and traits or diseases, with genome-wide association studies (GWAS) being a typical application.
More than 90% of disease-associated loci identified by GWAS are located in non-coding regions.
