FH+: patients with at least a first degree relative suffering from schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or severe major depression.
Schizophrenia v controls: allele: χ2 = 3.79, P = 0.051; OR = 1.50 (95% CI: 0.98 to 2.31); genotype: χ2 = 4.26, P = 0.119.
Bipolar disorder v controls: allele: χ2 = 1.48, P = 0.223; OR = 1.27 (95% CI: 0.85 to 1.90); genotype: χ2 = 2.89; P = 0.235.
Bipolar disorder FH+ v controls: allele: χ2 = 1.58, P = 0.208; OR = 1.33 (95% CI: 0.84 to 2.14); genotype: χ2 = 1.79; P = 0.408.
