Generation of three induced pluripotent stem cell lines carrying different variants of the BDNF (Val66Met) polymorphism.

TL;DR: One human-specific single nucleotide polymorphism (rs6265) in the BDNF gene causes a substitution of valine (Val) to methionine (Met) at codon 66 in the pro domain of the protein (Val66Met) as discussed by the authors .
Journal ArticleDOI

Common genetic variants associated with personality dimensions in the heidelberg cohort study of the elderly (heide)

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used principal components factor analysis with varimax rotation to identify five latent personality dimensions (the Heidelberg Five), interpreted as emotional lability, lack of behavioral control, type-A-behavior, locus of control over disease, and psychoticism.

Evidence for a shared genetic contribution to loneliness and Borderline Personality Disorder

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigated whether genetic predisposition for loneliness and BPD risk overlap and whether genetic risk for loneliness contributes to higher loneliness reported by BPD patients, using genome-wide genotype data.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the contributions of immune-relevant genetic factors to the response to lithium (Li) treatment and the clinical presentation of bipolar disorder (BP) and found a relatively weak association between immunity and clinically relevant features of BP at the genetic level.
