Association with schizophrenia is especially strong and well replicated. Two genes showing significance in the PAML analyses, NOTCH4 and TNXB, were marginally non-significant in Haplotter analyses (NOTCH4: 0.094 European; TNXB: 0.06 European), and three genes showed marginal non-significance in the Haplotter analysis (HOPA: 0.060 Asian; NOGO: 0.064 African; TPH1: 0.0505 Asian).
