Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence that the gene encoding ZDHHC8 contributes to the risk of schizophrenia.
Jun Mukai,Hui Liu,Rachel A. Burt,Dionne E. Swor,Wen-Sung Lai,Wen-Sung Lai,Maria Karayiorgou,Joseph A. Gogos +7 more
TL;DR: There is an unexpected connection between impaired palmitate modification of neuronal proteins and the psychiatric phenotypes associated with microdeletions of chromosome 22q11 and SNP rs175174 shows differences in transmission distortion between sexes in individuals with schizophrenia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibodies against merozoite surface protein (MSP)-1(19) are a major component of the invasion-inhibitory response in individuals immune to malaria.
Rebecca A. O'Donnell,Tania F. de Koning-Ward,Tania F. de Koning-Ward,Rachel A. Burt,Moses J. Bockarie,John C. Reeder,Alan F. Cowman,Brendan S. Crabb,Brendan S. Crabb +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that antibodies specific for this domain are a major component of the inhibitory response in P. falciparum–immune humans and P. chabaudi–immune mice.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vivo base editing restores sensory transduction and transiently improves auditory function in a mouse model of recessive deafness
Wei-Hsi Yeh,Wei-Hsi Yeh,Olga Shubina-Oleinik,Jonathan M. Levy,Jonathan M. Levy,Bifeng Pan,Gregory A. Newby,Gregory A. Newby,Michael Wornow,Michael Wornow,Rachel A. Burt,Jonathan C. Chen,Jonathan C. Chen,Jeffrey R. Holt,David R. Liu,David R. Liu,David R. Liu +16 more
TL;DR: The treatment reversed the mutation, improved sensory transduction, and partially restored hearing in mice, suggesting that base editing might be effective for rescuing recessive genetic hearing loss.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mouse loci for malaria-induced mortality and the control of parasitaemia

Journal ArticleDOI
Genomewide Scan in Families with Schizophrenia from the Founder Population of Afrikaners Reveals Evidence for Linkage and Uniparental Disomy on Chromosome 1
Gonçalo R. Abecasis,Rachel A. Burt,Diana Hall,Sylvia Bochum,Kimberly F. Doheny,S. Laura Lundy,Marie Torrington,J. Louw Roos,Joseph A. Gogos,Maria Karayiorgou +9 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that few genes of substantial effect exist for schizophrenia in the Afrikaner population, consistent with the previous genealogical tracing studies.
