TL;DR: In a genome-wide search for CNVs associating with schizophrenia, a population-based sample was used to identify de novo CNVs by analysing 9,878 transmissions from parents to offspring and three deletions significantly associate with schizophrenia and related psychoses in the combined sample.

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.

TL;DR: A novel, recurrent microdeletion and a reciprocal microduplication that carry substantial susceptibility to autism and appear to account for approximately 1% of cases are identified.

TL;DR: An extensive transcriptional network constructed from the human adipose data that exhibits significant overlap with similar network modules constructed from mouse adiposeData was identified that is enriched for genes involved in the inflammatory and immune response and has been found to be causally associated to obesity-related traits.
