Schizophrenia under the genomic lens: next generation sequencing of Western Australian families with schizophrenia [ 2014 - 2017 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Assen Jablensky (Principal investigator) ,  A/Pr Flavie Waters ,  Prof Eric Moses ,  Prof Johanna Badcock ,  Prof Vera Morgan

Brief description We will perform whole genome sequencing of 376 members of 88 Western Australian families, including 113 individuals with a diagnosis of schizophrenia. We will use the sequence data to conduct a gene-cenric analysis of rare genomic variants likely to contribute to schizophrenia risk in these families.
