Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
First, in a discovery cohort a case-control genome-wide association study (GWAS) will be performed on 2000 CLZ using subjects (cases) and >30,000 already available SCZ patients (controls, drawn from the most recent Psychiatric Genomics Consortium analysis, . We hereby aim to reveal potential differences in the genetic architecture between the severe CLZ-SCZ phenotype and the broad SCZ phenotype.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Second, a replication cohort of the same size as the discovery cohort (N=2,000 CLZ using subjects and the same number of controls) will be used to replicate any positive associations for each of the two GWAS analyses.<br>Should funding allow and if replication cohorts are available elsewhere and possibly for the purpose of participation in large-scale consortia, GWAS and NGS may be performed on >2,000 CLZ users, e.g. the entire study population.<br>In addition, we use the data with our other protocol (NTR 5257) to create a prediction model for clozapine response and side effects.
