Genomic Relationships, Novel Loci, and Pleiotropic Mechanisms across Eight Psychiatric Disorders

Phil Lee, +606 more
- 12 Dec 2019 - 
TL;DR: Genetic influences on psychiatric disorders transcend diagnostic boundaries, suggesting substantial pleiotropy of contributing loci within genes that show heightened expression in the brain throughout the lifespan, beginning prenatally in the second trimester, and play prominent roles in neurodevelopmental processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association study identifies eight risk loci and implicates metabo-psychiatric origins for anorexia nervosa

Hunna J. Watson, +258 more
- 01 Aug 2019 - 
TL;DR: The genetic architecture of anorexia nervosa mirrors its clinical presentation, showing significant genetic correlations with psychiatric disorders, physical activity, and metabolic (including glycemic), lipid and anthropometric traits, independent of the effects of common variants associated with body-mass index.
Journal ArticleDOI

Psychiatric comorbidity, family dysfunction, and social impairment in referred youth with oppositional defiant disorder

TL;DR: The results support the validity of the oppositional defiant disorder diagnosis as a meaningful clinical entity independent of conduct disorder and highlight the extremely detrimental effects of oppositional defiance on multiple domains of functioning in children and adolescents.
Journal ArticleDOI

Becoming a Social Partner With Peers: Cooperation and Social Understanding in One- and Two-Year-Olds

TL;DR: The ability to cooperate with peers, becoming a true social partner, develops over the 2nd and 3rd years of life in concert with growing social understanding.

A genome-wide association study of anorexia nervosa

Vesna Boraska, +175 more
TL;DR: The accrual of large genotyped AN case-control samples should be an immediate priority for the field, suggesting that true findings exist but the sample, the largest yet reported, was underpowered for their detection.
