Common polygenic variation contributes to risk of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder

Shaun Purcell, +81 more
- 06 Aug 2009 - 
TL;DR: The extent to which common genetic variation underlies the risk of schizophrenia is shown, using two analytic approaches, and the major histocompatibility complex is implicate, which is shown to involve thousands of common alleles of very small effect.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association study identifies five new schizophrenia loci

Stephan Ripke, +210 more
- 01 Oct 2011 - 
TL;DR: The authors examined the role of common genetic variation in schizophrenia in a genome-wide association study of substantial size: a stage 1 discovery sample of 21,856 individuals of European ancestry and a stage 2 replication sample of 29,839 independent subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rare chromosomal deletions and duplications increase risk of schizophrenia

Jennifer Stone, +91 more
- 11 Sep 2008 - 
TL;DR: A genome-wide survey of rare CNVs in 3,391 patients with schizophrenia and 3,181 ancestrally matched controls provides strong support for a model of schizophrenia pathogenesis that includes the effects of multiple rare structural variants, both genome- wide and at specific loci.
Journal ArticleDOI

Collaborative genome-wide association analysis supports a role for ANK3 and CACNA1C in bipolar disorder

TL;DR: The results suggest that ion channelopathies may be involved in the pathogenesis of bipolar disorder and found further support for the previously reported CACNA1C.
