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

Genome-wide association study identifies eight risk loci and implicates metabo-psychiatric origins for anorexia nervosa

Hunna J. Watson, +258 more
- 01 Aug 2019 - 
TL;DR: The genetic architecture of anorexia nervosa mirrors its clinical presentation, showing significant genetic correlations with psychiatric disorders, physical activity, and metabolic (including glycemic), lipid and anthropometric traits, independent of the effects of common variants associated with body-mass index.

A genome-wide association study of anorexia nervosa

Vesna Boraska, +175 more
TL;DR: The accrual of large genotyped AN case-control samples should be an immediate priority for the field, suggesting that true findings exist but the sample, the largest yet reported, was underpowered for their detection.
Journal ArticleDOI

A genome-wide association study of anorexia nervosa

Ted Reichborn-Kjennerud, +50 more
- 11 Feb 2014 - 
TL;DR: This article performed a GWAS in 2907 cases with AN from 14 countries (15 sites) and 14 860 ancestrally matched controls as part of the Genetic Consortium for AN (GCAN) and the Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium 3 (WTCCC3).
Journal ArticleDOI

The MC4 receptor and control of appetite

TL;DR: This review addresses the role of the MC system in different aspects of feeding behaviour and application of MCR agonists in humans has already revealed side effects, such as penile erections, which may complicate introduction of these drugs in the treatment of obesity.
