Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association analysis identifies 13 new risk loci for schizophrenia

Stephan Ripke, +79 more
- 01 Oct 2013 - 
TL;DR: The authors conducted a multi-stage genome-wide association study (GWAS) for schizophrenia and found that 8,300 independent, mostly common SNPs (95% credible interval of 6,300-10,200 SNPs) contribute to risk for schizophrenia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synaptic Assembly of the Brain in the Absence of Neurotransmitter Secretion

TL;DR: Synaptic connectivity does not depend on neurotransmitter secretion, but its maintenance does, and neurotransmitter secretion probably functions to validate already established synaptic connections.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mapping genomic loci implicates genes and synaptic biology in schizophrenia

Vassily Trubetskoy, +432 more
- 08 Apr 2022 - 
TL;DR: In this article , a two-stage genome-wide association study of up to 76,755 individuals with schizophrenia and 243,649 control individuals was conducted, and the authors reported common variant associations at 287 distinct genomic loci.
Journal ArticleDOI

A solution to dependency: using multilevel analysis to accommodate nested data

TL;DR: The factors affecting the type I error rate and the statistical power in nested data, methods that accommodate dependency between observations and ways to determine the optimal study design when data are nested are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

SynGO : An Evidence-Based, Expert-Curated Knowledge Base for the Synapse

Frank Koopmans, +78 more
- 17 Jul 2019 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that synaptic genes are exceptionally well conserved and less tolerant to mutations than other genes, and among de novo variants associated with neurodevelopmental disorders, including schizophrenia.
