Schizophrenia genetic risk factors work the same across all human populations

Researchers found that rare genetic mutations linked to schizophrenia affect disease risk uniformly across diverse populations worldwide. The discovery matters because it could democratize mental health diagnostics and drug development—ensuring treatments and genetic screening tools work equally well for all patients, not just those of European descent.
