Schizophrenia patients have more copy number variations (CNVs) than healthy controls, and reduced brain volumes. Although this could suggest a causal relationship, we found no association between global CNV burden and three brain volume measures (on a MRI scan) in a sample of 173 schizophrenia patients and 176 healthy controls.
精神分裂症患者的拷贝数变异 (CNVs) 多于健康对照者,且大脑体积减小。虽然这可能表明存在因果关系,但在 173 名精神分裂症患者和 176 名健康对照者的样本中,我们并未发现全基因组 CNV 负担与三种大脑体积测量值(磁共振成像扫描)之间存在关联。
