PSYCHGENE Copy Number Variation and Endophenotypes in Psychiatric Disorders

Coordinator: ISLENSK ERFDAGREINING EHF (IS)

A genome-wide copy number variant (CNV) association study for schizophrenia (SZ), bipolar disorder (BP) and major depression (MD) will be conducted at deCODE genetics using a discovery sample of 2400 affected (800 SZ, 600 BP, 1,000 MD) and 20,000 controls. CNV data will be generated from the newly released HumanCNV370-Duo array designed by deCODE genetics and Illumina. In this array there are about 55,000 probes covering known and supsected CNV regions. Algorithms for data analysis are being developed at deCODE.

About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)

The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.

EU contribution: €652k awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 4 years from 2008-03-01 to 2012-02-29.
