An Indian whole exome sequencing study to Identify ultra-rare schizophrenia risk variants

This project is designed to sequence individuals with schizophrenia and their family members, the DNAs of whom have been collected over many years in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. The aim is to discover genetic variants that contribute to the disease of schizophrenia and thereby facilitate a greater understanding of what causes this disease. Such a discovery may also contribute to the development of more effective medications.
