"non-specific some genes" sounds awkward to me.
What do you think?
Has "some non-specific genes" the same meaning?

non-specific some genes are for schizophrenia, having associations in common with bipolar disorder and with autism. This
suggests that the earlier stages of psychiatric disorders are multi valent,
reinforcing the hope that early detection, coupled with a clearer under-
standing of the environmental factors, may allow prevention.
