TL;DR: This work introduces PLINK, an open-source C/C++ WGAS tool set, and describes the five main domains of function: data management, summary statistics, population stratification, association analysis, and identity-by-descent estimation, which focuses on the estimation and use of identity- by-state and identity/descent information in the context of population-based whole-genome studies.

TL;DR: The extent to which common genetic variation underlies the risk of schizophrenia is shown, using two analytic approaches, and the major histocompatibility complex is implicate, which is shown to involve thousands of common alleles of very small effect.

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.

TL;DR: The results suggest that ion channelopathies may be involved in the pathogenesis of bipolar disorder and found further support for the previously reported CACNA1C.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated thatMC4Rs in the PVH and/or the amygdala control food intake but that MC4Rs elsewhere control energy expenditure, and association of food intake and energy expenditure reveals unexpected divergence in melanocortin pathways controlling energy balance.
