Yes there is a page and a half chart describing the subtypes because there can be multiple phenotypes even within the single subtype. Its pretty extensive but they are as follows.

Severe process, with positive and negative symptom sz
Positive and negative sz
negative sz
positive sz
severe process, postive sz
moderate process, disorganized negative sz
moderate process, positive and negative sz
moderate process continuous positive sz

These have between 2-17 phenotypic profiles each (I can't type them out they are long) which is why its not clear to me why there are 8 groups----for example there are 17 phenotypes for the severe process +/- sz three of those have associated genotypes with SNP sets the others are still unknown

but +/- sz has two phenotypes and two SNP sets. I'm just not sure why it's like they are still sticking to the DSM or something but their data suggest many more types especially when there is more than one SNP set per type and different phenotypes it seems artificial.
