Large recurrent microdeletions associated with schizophrenia

Hreinn Stefansson, +81 more
- 11 Sep 2008 - 
TL;DR: In a genome-wide search for CNVs associating with schizophrenia, a population-based sample was used to identify de novo CNVs by analysing 9,878 transmissions from parents to offspring and three deletions significantly associate with schizophrenia and related psychoses in the combined sample.
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

Meta-analysis of the Association Between the Level of Cannabis Use and Risk of Psychosis

TL;DR: Current evidence shows that high levels of cannabis use increase the risk of psychotic outcomes and confirms a dose-response relationship between the level of use and the risk for psychosis, and sufficient evidence to justify harm reduction prevention programs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vassily Trubetskoy, +432 more
- 08 Apr 2022 -
