Furthermore, by using GM volume from these 3 brain areas as QT, we performed a GWAS on 74 patients with schizophrenia and 51 controls from a Han Chinese population and identified a number of SNPs from three genes or chromosomal regions (TBXAS1, PIK3C2G and HS3ST5) were associated with changed GM volumes of hOC3vL, vermisL10 and vermisR10. This evidence concerns the gene HS3ST5 and schizophrenia.
