Abstract
The complement system is crucial for innate immunity and has been linked to autoimmune and psychiatric disorders. Borbye-Lorenzen et al.1 perform GWASs and PheWASs of neonatal C3/C4 protein concentrations, finding multiple genome-wide significant loci, and identify sex-specific associations between C3 protein concentration and C4 copy number with risk for schizophrenia.
