Journal ArticleDOI

The role of sex in the genomics of human complex traits

TL;DR: Recent insights into the genetic models and mechanisms that lead to sex differences in complex traits are discussed, including genomic evidence for sex-dependent genetic architecture, models and molecular mechanisms of sexually differentiated phenotypes and implications for health care.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interrogating the Genetic Determinants of Tourette’s Syndrome and Other Tic Disorders Through Genome-Wide Association Studies

TL;DR: Modulation of gene expression through noncoding variants, particularly within cortico-striatal circuits, is implicated as a fundamental mechanism in Tourette's syndrome pathogenesis, supporting the unification of Tourette’s syndrome and other tic disorders in future diagnostic schemata.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association study of Tourette's syndrome

Jeremiah M. Scharf, +114 more
- 01 Jun 2013 - 
TL;DR: This study lays the groundwork for the eventual identification of common TS susceptibility variants in larger cohorts and helps to provide a more complete understanding of the full genetic architecture of this disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI

A large-scale genome-wide association study meta-analysis of cannabis use disorder

Emma C. Johnson, +101 more
TL;DR: These findings support the theory that Cannabis use disorder has shared genetic liability with other psychopathology, and there is a distinction between genetic liability to cannabis use and cannabis use disorder.
