What Next in Schizophrenia Genetics for the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium?

Over the last 8 years the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium (PGC; http://pgc.unc.edu) has fundamentally changed the landscape for psychiatric genetics research. This has been achieved through unprecedented teamwork, involving more than 900 investigators from 40 countries, allied to rigorous methodology. Significantly, the PGC has an open-source approach with the main findings freely available for unrestricted use (http://pgc.unc.edu/downloads). Dozens of groups around the world are using PGC data to develop better analytical methods and to perform secondary analyses on a dataset representing more than 400 000 human participants
