The Molecular Genetics of schizophrenia (MGS) consortium pinpointed an association between schizophrenia and genes in the chromosome-6 region that mediate gene expression, such as histones.
The MGS study also found an association between schizophrenia and a genetic variation on chromosome 1 (1p22.1), which has been implicated in multiple sclerosis.
MGS研究也发现精神分裂症与1号染色体(1 p 22 . 1)遗传变异间的联系，这种联系在多发性硬化中已经有过。
