In the third of three papers looking at the genetics of schizophrenia, a genome-wide association study using the Molecular Genetics of Schizophrenia case-control data set followed by a meta-analysis further implicates the major histocompatibility complex. The study also reveals that although common schizophrenia susceptibility alleles can be detected, there are probably few or no single common loci with large effects.
