Only twelve?

How can there be only twelve genes known to be [statistically] associated with increased risk of schizophrenia? Since schizophrenia is more common in males, every gene on the Y chromosome must have this property.

That encyclopaedia article also contains some interesting information about the large differences in schizophrenia rates, and in the frequencies of the various symptoms of schizophrenia, in different countries.
