Two studies identify new genetic variants associated with the psychiatric disorders schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. In the first, the authors perform a meta-analysis to identify five new loci associated with schizophrenia, and, in a second study, a genome-wide association study approach is used to identify a bipolar-associated variant in the ODZ4 gene.
