Journal ArticleDOI

Biological insights from 108 schizophrenia-associated genetic loci

Stephan Ripke, +354 more
- 24 Jul 2014 - 
TL;DR: Associations at DRD2 and several genes involved in glutamatergic neurotransmission highlight molecules of known and potential therapeutic relevance to schizophrenia, and are consistent with leading pathophysiological hypotheses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modeling Linkage Disequilibrium Increases Accuracy of Polygenic Risk Scores

Bjarni J. Vilhjálmsson, +394 more
TL;DR: LDpred is introduced, a method that infers the posterior mean effect size of each marker by using a prior on effect sizes and LD information from an external reference panel, and outperforms the approach of pruning followed by thresholding, particularly at large sample sizes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genomic Relationships, Novel Loci, and Pleiotropic Mechanisms across Eight Psychiatric Disorders

Phil Lee, +606 more
- 12 Dec 2019 - 
TL;DR: Genetic influences on psychiatric disorders transcend diagnostic boundaries, suggesting substantial pleiotropy of contributing loci within genes that show heightened expression in the brain throughout the lifespan, beginning prenatally in the second trimester, and play prominent roles in neurodevelopmental processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contribution of copy number variants to schizophrenia from a genome-wide study of 41,321 subjects

Christian R. Marshall, +329 more
- 01 Jan 2017 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a centralized analysis pipeline was applied to a SCZ cohort of 21,094 cases and 20,227 controls, and a global enrichment of copy number variants (CNVs) was observed in cases (odds ratio (OR) = 1.11, P = 5.7 × 10-15), which persisted after excluding loci implicated in previous studies.

A contribution of novel CNVs to schizophrenia from a genome-wide study of 41,321 subjects

Christian R. Marshall, +255 more
- 23 Feb 2016 - 
TL;DR: A collaborative effort in which a centralized analysis pipeline is applied to a SCZ cohort, finding support at a suggestive level for nine additional candidate susceptibility and protective loci, which consist predominantly of CNVs mediated by non-allelic homologous recombination (NAHR).
