Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis of shared heritability in common disorders of the brain

Verneri Anttila, +720 more
- 22 Jun 2018 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that, in the general population, the personality trait neuroticism is significantly correlated with almost every psychiatric disorder and migraine, and it is shown that both psychiatric and neurological disorders have robust correlations with cognitive and personality measures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic variants associated with response to lithium treatment in bipolar disorder: a genome-wide association study

Liping Hou, +136 more
- 12 Mar 2016 - 
TL;DR: A genome-wide association study of lithium response in 2,563 patients collected by 22 participating sites from the International Consortium on Lithium Genetics (ConLiGen); the largest attempted so far finds a single locus of four linked SNPs on chromosome 21 met genome- wide significance criteria for association with lithium response.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interplay Among Psychopathologic Variables, Personal Resources, Context-Related Factors, and Real-life Functioning in Individuals With Schizophrenia: A Network Analysis.

Silvana Galderisi, +31 more
- 01 Apr 2018 - 
TL;DR: The network analysis showed that functional capacity and everyday life skills were the most central and highly interconnected nodes in the network, suggesting that improving the ability to perform tasks relevant to everyday life is critical for any therapeutic intervention in schizophrenia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association study of 40,000 individuals identifies two novel loci associated with bipolar disorder.

Liping Hou, +148 more
- 21 Jun 2016 - 
TL;DR: A two-stage meta-analysis of GWAS of bipolar disorder patients and controls revealed genome-wide significant associations at two novel loci, adding to a growing list of common autosomal variants involved in BD and illustrating the power of comparing well-characterized cases to an excess of controls in GWAS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association of Polygenic Score for Schizophrenia and HLA Antigen and Inflammation Genes With Response to Lithium in Bipolar Affective Disorder: A Genome-Wide Association Study.

Azmeraw T. Amare, +126 more
- 09 Nov 2017 - 
TL;DR: Evidence is provided for a negative association between high genetic loading for SCZ and poor response to lithium in patients with BPAD, suggesting the potential for translational research aimed at personalized prescribing of lithium.
