Abstract

Schizophrenia is a clinically heterogeneous disorder associated with broad deficits across cognitive domains. As large genomewide association studies uncover the genetic architecture of schizophrenia, the relationship between common genetic variants and clinical and cognitive characteristics will form part of an integrative approach to understanding genetic effects on the clinical phenotype. In the current study, association between common genetic risk variants and clinical and cognitive variables was investigated. Common risk variants were associated with positive symptoms and decision-making ability from the Cambridge Gambling Task with trends in other domains.
