The GWA data will be an extremely valuable resource for a variety of future studies. These will include analytical approaches such as gene-based approaches, pathway analysis, and convergent functional genomics which aim to detect additional susceptibility genes with greater power (Le-Niculescu et al., 2009; Treutlein et al., 2009). In particular, pathway-based approaches will allow the systematic re-evaluation of major pathophysiological hypotheses of schizophrenia such as the dopamine hypothesis.
