Synaptic, transcriptional and chromatin genes disrupted in autism

Silvia De Rubeis, +99 more
- 13 Nov 2014 - 
TL;DR: Using exome sequencing, it is shown that analysis of rare coding variation in 3,871 autism cases and 9,937 ancestry-matched or parental controls implicates 22 autosomal genes at a false discovery rate of < 0.05, plus a set of 107 genes strongly enriched for those likely to affect risk (FDR < 0.30).
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic relationship between five psychiatric disorders estimated from genome-wide SNPs

S. Hong Lee, +405 more
- 01 Sep 2013 - 
TL;DR: Empirical evidence of shared genetic etiology for psychiatric disorders can inform nosology and encourages the investigation of common pathophysiologies for related disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of Cerebral Cortical Size by Control of Cell Cycle Exit in Neural Precursors

TL;DR: Results show thatβ-catenin can function in the decision of precursors to proliferate or differentiate during mammalian neuronal development and suggest that β-catanin can regulate cerebral cortical size by controlling the generation of neural precursor cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Doublecortin is a microtubule-associated protein and is expressed widely by migrating neurons.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that DCX is expressed in migrating neurons throughout the central and peripheral nervous system during embryonic and postnatal development and likely directs neuronal migration by regulating the organization and stability of microtubules.
