Journal ArticleDOI

Rare coding variants in PLCG2, ABI3, and TREM2 implicate microglial-mediated innate immunity in Alzheimer's disease

Rebecca Sims, +487 more
- 01 Sep 2017 - 
TL;DR: Three new genome-wide significant nonsynonymous variants associated with Alzheimer's disease are observed, providing additional evidence that the microglia-mediated innate immune response contributes directly to the development of Alzheimer's Disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessment of Response to Lithium Maintenance Treatment in Bipolar Disorder: A Consortium on Lithium Genetics (ConLiGen) Report

Mirko Manchia, +104 more
TL;DR: The key phenotypic measures of the “Retrospective Criteria of Long-Term Treatment Response in Research Subjects with Bipolar Disorder” scale currently used in the Consortium on lithium Genetics (ConLiGen) study are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

New insights into the genetic etiology of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias

Céline Bellenguez, +401 more
- 01 Apr 2022 - 
TL;DR: This paper performed a two-stage genome-wide association study with 111,326 clinically diagnosed/proxy AD cases and 677,663 controls and found 75 risk loci, of which 42 were new at the time of analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic variants associated with response to lithium treatment in bipolar disorder: a genome-wide association study

Liping Hou, +136 more
- 12 Mar 2016 - 
TL;DR: A genome-wide association study of lithium response in 2,563 patients collected by 22 participating sites from the International Consortium on Lithium Genetics (ConLiGen); the largest attempted so far finds a single locus of four linked SNPs on chromosome 21 met genome- wide significance criteria for association with lithium response.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association study of 40,000 individuals identifies two novel loci associated with bipolar disorder.

Liping Hou, +148 more
- 21 Jun 2016 - 
TL;DR: A two-stage meta-analysis of GWAS of bipolar disorder patients and controls revealed genome-wide significant associations at two novel loci, adding to a growing list of common autosomal variants involved in BD and illustrating the power of comparing well-characterized cases to an excess of controls in GWAS.
