TL;DR: The genome-wide characteristics of rare (<1% frequency) copy number variation in ASD are analysed using dense genotyping arrays to reveal many new genetic and functional targets in ASD that may lead to final connected pathways.

TL;DR: In one of four primary association analyses, the association signal for marker rs4141463, located within MACROD2, crossed the genome-wide association significance threshold of P < 5 × 10−8 and, consistent with the winner's curse, its effect size in the replication sample was much smaller.

TL;DR: Stage 2 of the Autism Genome Project genome-wide association study is reported, adding 1301 ASD families and bringing the total to 2705 families analysed, and it is reasonable to conclude that common variants affect the risk for ASD but their individual effects are modest.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular pathways involved in neuronal cell adhesion and membrane scaffolding contribute to schizophrenia and bipolar disorder susceptibility.

TL;DR: A molecular pathway analysis using the single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) ratio test, which compares the ratio of nominally significant to nonsignificant SNPs in a given pathway to identify the ‘enrichment’ for association signals, suggests mechanisms involved in neuronal cell adhesion may contribute broadly to neurodevelopmental psychiatric phenotypes.

The SNP ratio test
Colm O'Dushlaine,Elaine Kenny,Elizabeth A. Heron,Ricardo Segurado,Michael Gill,Derek W. Morris,Aiden Corvin +6 more
TL;DR: The SNP ratio test (SRT) compares the proportion of significant to all SNPs within genes that are part of a pathway and computes an empirical P-value based on comparisons to ratios in datasets where the assignment of case/control status has been randomized.
