Genome-wide association study results for educational attainment aid in identifying genetic heterogeneity of schizophrenia

Educational attainment and schizophrenia have a negative phenotypic relationship but show positive genetic correlation. Here, the authors study genetic dependence between the two traits and find that multiple genes have pleiotropic effects on both without a systematic pattern of sign concordance.
