Figure 1. ERV Statistics Associating Variation in Cortical Surface Area with Schizophrenia Risk.
Applying a novel analytic approach for discovering and empirically validating endophenotypes in extended pedigrees with very few affected individuals, we demonstrate that common genetic factors influence liability for schizophrenia and the FreeSurfer derived cortical surface area in six medial temporal and prefrontal regions (see Table 3 for details).
