Background
Schizotypy is a putative risk phenotype for psychosis liability, but the overlap of its genetic architecture with schizophrenia is poorly understood.
MethodsWe tested the hypothesis that dimensions of schizotypy (assessed with the SPQ-B) are associated with a polygenic risk score (PRS) for schizophrenia in a sample of 623 psychiatrically healthy, non-clinical subjects from the FOR2107 multi-centre study and a second sample of 1133 blood donors.
ResultsWe did not find correlations of schizophrenia PRS with either overall SPQ or specific dimension scores, nor with adjusted schizotypy scores derived from the SPQ (addressing inter-scale variance). Also, PRS for affective disorders (bipolar disorder and major depression) were not significantly associated with schizotypy.
ConclusionsThis important negative finding demonstrates that despite the hypothesised continuum of schizotypy and schizophrenia, schizotypy might share less genetic risk with schizophrenia than previously assumed (and possibly less compared to psychotic-like experiences).

The Upper Cretaceous chalk of northwest Europe was deposited in an open epicontinental sea during a period of high global eustatic sea-level – a unique depositional setting requiring modification of the sequence-stratigraphical approach. In this paper, a framework for the sequence-stratigraphical analysis of the Upper Cretaceous chalk is discussed, and an ideal sequence model presented.
Analysis of the Coniacian succession has identified eight third-order (short-term) cycles of relative sea-level change (∼400 Ka duration), superimposed upon a second-order (longer term) cycle (∼3.2 Ma duration). The third-order cycles represent frequent, basin-wide oceanographic changes for which there are no known tectonic mechanisms. These cycles show a visual correlation with both the δ13C and the δ13C stable isotope curves, indicating a climatic control on sedimentation, probably linked to a Milankovitch eccentricity rhythm.
The long-term trend in independently derived δ13C stable isotope values parallels the long-term relative sea-level curve, reflecting increased production as the shelf area expands. By contrast, the δ18C stable isotope values show little change over the long term, suggesting that tectonics, rather than climate, was the controlling factor on second-order relative sea-level change. This is corroborated by the fact that the long-term cycle is coincident with a phase of increased activity at the mid-ocean ridges, which is thought to allow for a 60 m rise in global sea level.
