Large-Scale Exome Sequencing Study Implicates Both Developmental and Functional Changes in the Neurobiology of Autism

F. Kyle Satterstrom, +201 more
- 06 Feb 2020 - 
TL;DR: The largest exome sequencing study of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to date, using an enhanced analytical framework to integrate de novo and case-control rare variation, identifies 102 risk genes at a false discovery rate of 0.1 or less, consistent with multiple paths to an excitatory-inhibitory imbalance underlying ASD.
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

Genomic Dissection of Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia, Including 28 Subphenotypes

Douglas M. Ruderfer, +631 more
- 14 Jun 2018 - 
TL;DR: For the first time, specific loci that distinguish between BD and SCZ are discovered and polygenic components underlying multiple symptom dimensions are identified that point to the utility of genetics to inform symptomology and potential treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Higher risk of offspring schizophrenia following antenatal maternal exposure to severe adverse life events.

TL;DR: It is suggested that severe stress to a mother during the first trimester may alter the risk of schizophrenia in offspring, consistent with ecological evidence from whole populations exposed to severe stressors and suggests that environment may influence neurodevelopment at the feto-placental-maternal interface.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-analysis of GWAS of over 16,000 individuals with autism spectrum disorder highlights a novel locus at 10q24.32 and a significant overlap with schizophrenia

Richard Anney, +214 more
- 22 May 2017 - 
TL;DR: A significant genetic correlation with schizophrenia and association of ASD with several neurodevelopmental-related genes such as EXT1, ASTN2, MACROD2, and HDAC4 is identified and identified.
