Copy number variants (CNVs) have been strongly implicated in the genetic etiology of schizophrenia (SCZ). However, genome-wide investigation of the contribution of CNV to risk has been hampered by limited sample sizes. We sought to address this obstacle by applying a centralized analysis pipeline to a SCZ cohort of 21,094 cases and 20,227 controls.

In addition to the interface and schema definitions, the metamodel was also used to generate the core elements of a CORBA reference server and a JDBC database loader. The Java source code which implements this metamodel, the CORBA server, database loader and XML converter along with detailed documentation and code examples are available as part of the OpenMMS toolkit.
