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

Genome-wide association study identifies five new schizophrenia loci

Stephan Ripke, +210 more
- 01 Oct 2011 - 
TL;DR: The authors examined the role of common genetic variation in schizophrenia in a genome-wide association study of substantial size: a stage 1 discovery sample of 21,856 individuals of European ancestry and a stage 2 replication sample of 29,839 independent subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Common variants conferring risk of schizophrenia

Hreinn Stefansson, +94 more
- 06 Aug 2009 - 
TL;DR: Findings implicating the MHC region are consistent with an immune component to schizophrenia risk, whereas the association with NRGN and TCF4 points to perturbation of pathways involved in brain development, memory and cognition.
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.
