Abstract

In schizophrenia, reduced orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) volume is inconsistently reported. To investigate the impact of genetic load on OFC volume, manual MRI-tracing in 23 first-episode schizophrenia patients (FE-SZ) and 23 controls was performed. FE-SZ with genetic load showed a decrease in OFC volume compared to FE-SZ without load and controls.
