We found eight serum proteins with a significant interaction which survived multiple testing following analysis stratified by diagnosis, namely rs555212 (Factor VII), rs11846959 (AAT), rs4256246 (IP-10) and rs12829220 (vWF) in the control group; rs9658644 (CgA), rs2424577 (CST3) and rs6123 (VKDPS) in the schizophrenia group; rs7553796 (IL-6r) in both the control and schizophrenia groups. Here, F7 is linked to schizophrenia.
