Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic relationship between five psychiatric disorders estimated from genome-wide SNPs

S. Hong Lee, +405 more
- 01 Sep 2013 - 
TL;DR: Empirical evidence of shared genetic etiology for psychiatric disorders can inform nosology and encourages the investigation of common pathophysiologies for related disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Large-scale genome-wide association analysis of bipolar disorder identifies a new susceptibility locus near ODZ4

Pamela Sklar, +192 more
- 01 Oct 2011 - 
TL;DR: An analysis of all 11,974 bipolar disorder cases and 51,792 controls confirmed genome-wide significant evidence of association for CACNA1C and identified a new intronic variant in ODZ4, and a pathway comprised of subunits of calcium channels enriched in bipolar disorder association intervals was identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association study identifies 30 loci associated with bipolar disorder

Eli A. Stahl, +342 more
- 01 May 2019 - 
TL;DR: Genome-wide analysis identifies 30 loci associated with bipolar disorder, allowing for comparisons of shared genes and pathways with other psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia and depression.
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

Psychiatric genome-wide association study analyses implicate neuronal, immune and histone pathways

Colm O'Dushlaine, +404 more
- 19 Jan 2015 - 
TL;DR: It is indicated that risk variants for psychiatric disorders aggregate in particular biological pathways and that these pathways are frequently shared between disorders.
