GST, glutathione S-transferase; EOS, early-onset schizophrenia spectrum disorder; EOBD, early-onset bipolar disorder; EOFEP, early-onset first-episode psychosis; Ca/Co, no. of case vs control individuals; OR, odds ratio, adjusted for age and sex; CI, confidence interval

aActive (present) if at least one active allele is present.

bInactive (null) if no active alleles present.
