TL;DR: In this article, a collaborative GWAS involving 9,772 cases of European descent collected by 23 research groups working in 15 different countries, they have replicated almost all of the previously suggested associations and identified at least a further 29 novel susceptibility loci.

Temperament: Early Developing Personality Traits

TL;DR: In this article, a Pediatric Approach to Evolution and Development of EAS is presented, with a focus on the relationship between EAS and behavioral characteristics of the EAS population.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genotype-environment interaction and correlation in the analysis of human behavior.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of genotype-envi ronment interaction and correlation on behavioral genetic studies (twin and adoption studies) are examined, and the analysis suggests that genotypeenvironment interaction may bias twin study estimates of genetic and environmental influence, but need not affect adoption studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Why are children in the same family so different from one another

TL;DR: For example, the authors found that environmental differences between children in the same family represent the major source of environmental variance for personality, psychopathology, and cognitive abilities, and found that these environmental influences make two children in a same family as different from one another as are pairs of children selected randomly from the population.
Journal ArticleDOI

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

Antonio F. Pardiñas, +90 more

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.
