Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association analyses identify 44 risk variants and refine the genetic architecture of major depression

Naomi R. Wray, +262 more
- 26 Apr 2018 - 
TL;DR: A genome-wide association meta-analysis of individuals with clinically assessed or self-reported depression identifies 44 independent and significant loci and finds important relationships of genetic risk for major depression with educational attainment, body mass, and schizophrenia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association study identifies five new schizophrenia loci

Stephan Ripke, +210 more
- 01 Oct 2011 - 
TL;DR: The authors examined the role of common genetic variation in schizophrenia in a genome-wide association study of substantial size: a stage 1 discovery sample of 21,856 individuals of European ancestry and a stage 2 replication sample of 29,839 independent subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Common variants conferring risk of schizophrenia

Hreinn Stefansson, +94 more
- 06 Aug 2009 - 
TL;DR: Findings implicating the MHC region are consistent with an immune component to schizophrenia risk, whereas the association with NRGN and TCF4 points to perturbation of pathways involved in brain development, memory and cognition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Discovery of the first genome-wide significant risk loci for attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder

Ditte Demontis, +126 more
- 01 Jan 2019 - 
TL;DR: A genome-wide association meta-analysis of 20,183 individuals diagnosed with ADHD and 35,191 controls identifies variants surpassing genome- wide significance in 12 independent loci and implicates neurodevelopmental pathways and conserved regions of the genome as being involved in underlying ADHD biology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Common schizophrenia alleles are enriched in mutation-intolerant genes and in regions under strong background selection

Antonio F. Pardiñas, +90 more
- 26 Feb 2018 - 
TL;DR: A new genome-wide association study of schizophrenia is reported, and through meta-analysis with existing data and integrating genomic fine-mapping with brain expression and chromosome conformation data, 50 novel associated loci and 145 loci are identified.
