bCore schizophrenia, including schizophrenia, poor-outcome schizoaffective disorder and simple schizophrenia. No evidence of association for broader diagnostic categories: narrow psychosis spectrum, adding schizotypal personality disorder and all other nonaffective psychotic disorders; broad psychosis spectrum, adding mood-incongruent and mood-congruent psychotic affective illness, and paranoid, avoidant and schizoid personality disorders; very broad psychosis spectrum, including all psychosis spectrum disorders plus non-psychotic affective disorders, anxiety, alcoholism, etc
