To assess whether the Interleukin 1 beta (IL1) gene confers increased susceptibility to schizophrenia, we conducted case-control and family-based studies and an updated meta-analysis. We tested the association between IL1B and schizophrenia in 1229 case-control and 112 trio samples using 12 markers. We also performed a meta-analysis of rs16944 using a total of 8724 case-control and 201 trio samples. We found no significant associations between any of the 12 markers examined and schizophrenia in either case-control or trio samples. Moreover, our meta-analysis results showed no significant association between rs16944 and schizophrenia. Our results suggest that IL1B does not confer increased susceptibility to schizophrenia.
