To explore the genetic correlation between schizophrenia (SCZ) and osteoporosis (OP). Design, setting, participants, measurements We conducted a trans‐ethnic two‐stage genetic correlation analysis of OP and SCZ, totally invoking 2286 Caucasia subjects in discovery stage and 4124 Chinese subjects in replication stage. The bone mineral density (BMD) and bone area values of ulna & radius, hip and spine were measured using Hologic 4500W dual energy X‐ray absorptiometry machine. SCZ was diagnosed according to DSM‐IV criteria. For the genome‐wide association study (GWAS) of Caucasian OP, Chinese OP and Chinese SCZ, SNP genotyping was performed using Affymetrix SNP 6.0 array. For the GWAS of Caucasian SCZ, SNP genotyping was conducted using the Affymetrix 5.0 array, Affymetrix 6.0 array and Illumina 550 K array. Polygenetic risk scoring (PRS) analysis was conducted by PRSice software. Also, Linkage disequilibrium score regression (LD Score regression) analysis was performed to evaluate the genetic correlation between OP and SCZ. Multi‐trait analysis of GWAS (MTAG) was performed to detect novel candidate genes for osteoporosis and SCZ. Results In the Caucasia discovery samples, significant genetic correlations were observed for ulna & radius BMD vs. SCZ ( P value = 0.010), ulna & radius area vs. SCZ ( P value = 0.031). In the Chinese replication samples, we observed significant correlation for ulna & radius area vs. SCZ ( P value = 0.019). In addition, LD Score regression also identified significant genetic correlations between SCZ and bone phenotypes in Caucasian and Chinese sample respectively. MTAG analysis identified several novel candidate genes, such as CTNNA2 (MTAG P value = 2.24 × 10 −6 ) for SCZ and FADS2 (MTAG P value = 2.66 × 10 −7 ) for osteoporosis. Conclusions Our study results support the overlapped genetic basis for osteoporosis and SCZ, and provide novel clues for elucidating the biological mechanism of increased osteoporosis risk in SCZ patients.
