Rare Copy Number Variants in NRXN1 and CNTN6 Increase Risk for Tourette Syndrome

Alden Y. Huang, +79 more
- 21 Jun 2017 - 
TL;DR: An enrichment of global CNV burden that was prominent for large (> 1 Mb), singleton events and known, pathogenic CNVs is observed, indicating that rare structural variation contributes significantly to the genetic architecture of TS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cross-disorder genome-wide analyses suggest a complex genetic relationship between tourette's syndrome and OCD

Dongmei Yu, +164 more
TL;DR: The GWAS signals were enriched for SNPs strongly associated with variations in brain gene expression levels (expression quantitative loci, or eQTLs), suggesting the presence of true functional variants that contribute to risk of these disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Copy number variation in obsessive-compulsive disorder and tourette syndrome : a cross-disorder study

Lauren M. McGrath, +121 more
TL;DR: Several converging lines of evidence implicate 16p13.11 deletions in OCD, with weaker evidence for a role in TS, and the trend toward increased overall CNV burden in TS and OCD suggests that deletions previously associated with other neurodevelopmental disorders may also contribute to these phenotypes.
