Abstract

Schizophrenia patients have more copy number variations (CNVs) than healthy controls, and reduced brain volumes. Although this could suggest a causal relationship, we found no association between global CNV burden and three brain volume measures (on a MRI scan) in a sample of 173 schizophrenia patients and 176 healthy controls.
