Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: P2XR(7) was not associated with schizophrenia in this study and the high ethnic and diagnostic homogeneity of the sample adds credibility to this finding.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The results show support both for existing findings in the literature, as well as for new risk genes, and identify rare variants that might provide additional information on the underlying biology of bipolar disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI
An intron 1 polymorphism in the cholecystokinin-A receptor gene associated with schizophrenia in males.
Pernille Koefoed,T V O Hansen,David P.D. Woldbye,Thomas Werge,Ole Mors,Thomas Hansen,K. D. Jakobsen,Merete Nordentoft,August G. Wang,Tom G. Bolwig,Jens F. Rehfeld +10 more
TL;DR: To identify whether a genetic variation in the neuropeptide cholecystokinin‐A receptor (CCKAR) gene is a risk factor in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of MCTP2 gene variants with schizophrenia in three independent samples of Scandinavian origin (SCOPE).
Srdjan Djurovic,Stephanie Le Hellard,Stephanie Le Hellard,Anna K. Kähler,Erik G. Jönsson,Ingrid Agartz,Ingrid Agartz,Vidar M. Steen,Vidar M. Steen,Håkan Hall,August G. Wang,Henrik B. Rasmussen,Ingrid Melle,Thomas Werge,Ole A. Andreassen +14 more
TL;DR: It is reported, for the first time, a possible involvement of MCTP2 as a potential novel susceptibility gene for schizophrenia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of coding-polymorphisms in NOTCH-related genes reveals NUMBL poly-glutamine repeat to be associated with schizophrenia in Brazilian and Danish subjects
Sheila P. Gregório,Wagner F. Gattaz,Hildeberto Tavares,Christian Kieling,Sally Timm,August G. Wang,Henrik B. Rasmussen,Thomas Werge,Emmanuel Dias-Neto +8 more
TL;DR: The consistency of this finding in two independent and unrelated populations reinforces the veracity of this association between non-synonymous variants of five genes of the Notch pathway and schizophrenia in a group of Brazilian patients and 200-paired controls.
