Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide meta-analysis identifies new loci and functional pathways influencing Alzheimer's disease risk.

Iris E. Jansen, +65 more
- 01 Mar 2019 - 
TL;DR: A large genome-wide association study of clinically diagnosed AD and AD-by-proxy identifies new loci and functional pathways that contribute to AD risk and adds novel insights into the neurobiology of AD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Autism genome-wide copy number variation reveals ubiquitin and neuronal genes

TL;DR: Several new susceptibility genes encoding neuronal cell-adhesion molecules, including NLGN1 and ASTN2, were enriched with CNVs in ASD cases compared to controls, and duplications 55 kilobases upstream of complementary DNA AK123120 indicate that these two important gene networks expressed within the central nervous system may contribute to the genetic susceptibility of ASD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiple Recurrent De Novo CNVs, Including Duplications of the 7q11.23 Williams Syndrome Region, Are Strongly Associated with Autism

Stephen Sanders, +66 more
- 09 Jun 2011 - 
TL;DR: A genome-wide analysis of rare copy-number variation in 1124 autism spectrum disorder families, each comprised of a single proband, unaffected parents, and, in most kindreds, an unaffected sibling, finds significant association of ASD with de novo duplications of 7q11.23, where the reciprocal deletion causes Williams-Beuren syndrome.
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

GWAS of lifetime cannabis use reveals new risk loci, genetic overlap with psychiatric traits, and a causal influence of schizophrenia

Joëlle A. Pasman, +50 more
- 27 Aug 2018 - 
TL;DR: A GWAS of lifetime cannabis use reveals new risk loci, shows that cannabis use has genetic overlap with smoking and alcohol use, and indicates that the likelihood of initiating cannabis use is causally influenced by schizophrenia.
