The Danish civil registration system

TL;DR: The Danish Civil Registration System (CRS) in connection with other registers and biobanks will continue to provide the basis for significant knowledge relevant to the aetiological understanding and possible prevention of human diseases.

TL;DR: A genome-wide association meta-analysis of individuals with clinically assessed or self-reported depression identifies 44 independent and significant loci and finds important relationships of genetic risk for major depression with educational attainment, body mass, and schizophrenia.
Journal Article

The Danish Civil Registration System. A cohort of eight million persons.

TL;DR: Data from the CRS is an important research tool in epidemiological research, which enables Danish researchers to carry out representative population-based studies on e.g. the potential clustering of disease and death in families and the potential association between residence and disease andDeath.
Journal ArticleDOI

Discovery of the first genome-wide significant risk loci for attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder

Ditte Demontis, +126 more
- 01 Jan 2019 - 
TL;DR: A genome-wide association meta-analysis of 20,183 individuals diagnosed with ADHD and 35,191 controls identifies variants surpassing genome- wide significance in 12 independent loci and implicates neurodevelopmental pathways and conserved regions of the genome as being involved in underlying ADHD biology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Common schizophrenia alleles are enriched in mutation-intolerant genes and in regions under strong background selection

Antonio F. Pardiñas, +90 more
