Analysis of shared heritability in common disorders of the brain

Verneri Anttila, +720 more
- 22 Jun 2018 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that, in the general population, the personality trait neuroticism is significantly correlated with almost every psychiatric disorder and migraine, and it is shown that both psychiatric and neurological disorders have robust correlations with cognitive and personality measures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide mega-analysis identifies 16 loci and highlights diverse biological mechanisms in the common epilepsies

Bassel Abou-Khalil, +158 more
- 10 Dec 2018 - 
TL;DR: The authors perform genome-wide association studies for 3 broad and 7 subtypes of epilepsy and identify 16 loci - 11 novel - that are further annotated by eQTL and partitioned heritability analyses that provide leads for epilepsy therapies based on underlying pathophysiology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic determinants of common epilepsies: a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies

Richard Anney, +111 more
- 30 Jul 2014 - 
TL;DR: This meta-analysis describes a new locus not previously implicated in epilepsy and provides further evidence about the genetic architecture of these disorders, with the ultimate aim of assisting in disease classification and prognosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Does the Primary Literature Provide Support for Clinical Signs Used to Distinguish Psychogenic Nonepileptic Seizures From Epileptic Seizures

Andreja Avbersek, +1 more
- 01 Jul 2010 - 
TL;DR: Postictal stertorous breathing proved to distinguish convulsive PNES from generalised tonic clonic seizures (GTCS) and should be added to the list of useful clinical signs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical and dopamine transporter imaging characteristics of non-manifest LRRK2 and GBA mutation carriers in the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI): a cross-sectional study

Tanya Simuni, +132 more
- 01 Jan 2020 - 
TL;DR: The authors' data show evidence of subtle motor and non-motor signs of Parkinson's disease in non-manifesting carriers compared with healthy controls that can precede DAT deficit.
