Psychiatric GWAS Consortium

The Psychiatric GWAS Consortium (PGC) is a collaborative effort among researchers to study the genetic basis of psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression. By analyzing genetic data from large groups of individuals, the PGC aims to identify specific genetic variations that may contribute to these conditions. This research enhances our understanding of mental health, potentially leading to improved treatments and interventions. The consortium leverages the strength of global cooperation to pool resources and data, making it a powerful tool in psychiatric research.
