Open article record in new tab ↗Background The association between cannabis and psychosis is established, but the role of underlying genetics is unclear.

BACKGROUND AND HYPOTHESIS: It is argued that availability of diagnostic models will facilitate a more rapid identification of individuals who are at a higher risk of first episode psychosis (FEP). Therefore, we developed, evaluated, and validated a diagnostic risk estimation model to classify individual with FEP and controls across six countries. STUDY DESIGN: We used data from a large multi-center study encompass…

Methods We used data from 11 sites of the multicentre European Gene-Environment Interaction (EU-GEI) case-control study. 558 first-episode psychosis patients (FEPp) and 567 population controls who had us…
