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

The Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) pilot analysis: Multitissue gene regulation in humans

Kristin G. Ardlie, +132 more
- 08 May 2015 - 
TL;DR: The landscape of gene expression across tissues is described, thousands of tissue-specific and shared regulatory expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) variants are cataloged, complex network relationships are described, and signals from genome-wide association studies explained by eQTLs are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association studies for common diseases and complex traits

TL;DR: Genome-wide association studies will soon become possible, and could open new frontiers in the understanding and treatment of disease, however, the execution and analysis of such studies will require great care.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association studies for complex traits: consensus, uncertainty and challenges

TL;DR: This Review highlights the knowledge gained, defines areas of emerging consensus, and describes the challenges that remain as researchers seek to obtain more complete descriptions of the susceptibility architecture of biomedical traits of interest and to translate the information gathered into improvements in clinical management.
