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.

TL;DR: In this article , a two-stage genome-wide association study of up to 76,755 individuals with schizophrenia and 243,649 control individuals was conducted, and the authors reported common variant associations at 287 distinct genomic loci.

TL;DR: A genome-wide association study for alcohol-related cirrhosis in individuals of European descent with subsequent validation in two independent European cohorts is performed, suggesting that lipid turnover is important in the pathogenesis of alcohol- related Cirrhosis.

TL;DR: The authors performed a genome-wide association study of 41,917 bipolar disorder cases and 371,549 controls of European ancestry, which identified 64 associated genomic loci, including genes encoding targets of antipsychotics, calcium channel blockers, antiepileptics and anesthetics.

TL;DR: This is the first GWAS and follow-up study to identify a genome-wide significant association in alcohol dependence and nine SNPs were located in genes that have been reported to be associated with alcohol dependence, including the CDH13 and ADH1C genes.
