Core Tip	n recent years, there has been search for blood-based biomarkers for schizophrenia (Sz) as a valid alternative. However, it must be acknowledged that Sz is a complex and heterogeneous disorder which needs to be further dissected into subtype using biomarkers. The scope of this review is to critically examine published blood-based biomarker of Sz, focusing on possible uses for diagnosis, treatment response, and their relationship with schizophrenia-associated phenotype. We suggest that a prediction model-based, Sz specific, blood oriented study design as well as standard blood collection procedures would be useful for development of Sz biomarkers.
