This is a case-control study that looks for genes associated with schizophrenia. The study goals are to collect 5000 people with schizophrenia over 3 years for comparison with a group of 10,000 people who do not have the illness to see which genes are different. This is a 10-site study across the country. Over 250 people have already been collected.
The student would be involved in performing an extensive diagnositic evaluation of schizophrenia. This includes a structured genetic interview, an interview with a family member about the person with schizophrenia and review of medical records. The student would also have access to the existing database of 250 people and could generate hypotheses based on the information collected in the clinical interview and analyze these hypotheses with our existing data set.
