Genome-wide association study identifies 30 loci associated with bipolar disorder

Eli A. Stahl, +342 more
- 01 May 2019 - 
TL;DR: Genome-wide analysis identifies 30 loci associated with bipolar disorder, allowing for comparisons of shared genes and pathways with other psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia and depression.
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

Genomic Dissection of Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia, Including 28 Subphenotypes

Douglas M. Ruderfer, +631 more
- 14 Jun 2018 - 
TL;DR: For the first time, specific loci that distinguish between BD and SCZ are discovered and polygenic components underlying multiple symptom dimensions are identified that point to the utility of genetics to inform symptomology and potential treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comprehensive research synopsis and systematic meta-analyses in Parkinson's disease genetics: the PDGene database.

Christina M. Lill, +62 more
- 15 Mar 2012 - 
TL;DR: This study provides an exhaustive and up-to-date summary of the status of PD genetics research that can be readily scaled to include the results of future large-scale genetics projects, including next-generation sequencing studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transancestral GWAS of alcohol dependence reveals common genetic underpinnings with psychiatric disorders

Raymond K. Walters, +171 more
- 26 Nov 2018 - 
TL;DR: The largest genome-wide association study to date of DSM-IV-diagnosed AD found loci associated with AD and characterized the relationship between AD and other psychiatric and behavioral outcomes, underscoring the genetic distinction between pathological and nonpathological drinking behaviors.
