Microduplications of 16p11.2 are Associated with Schizophrenia

Shane McCarthy, +77 more
- 01 Nov 2009 - 
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of datasets for multiple psychiatric disorders showed a significant association of the microduplication with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and autism, while the reciprocal microdeletion was associated only with autism and developmental disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome scan meta-analysis of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, part III: Bipolar disorder.

Ricardo Segurado, +79 more
TL;DR: The present results for the very narrow model are promising but suggest that more and larger data sets are needed to support linkage, as well as suggest that linkage might be detected in certain populations or subsets of pedigrees.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chronic Corticosterone Exposure Increases Expression and Decreases Deoxyribonucleic Acid Methylation of Fkbp5 in Mice

TL;DR: The results suggest DNAm plays a role in mediating effects of glucocorticoid exposure on Fkbp5 function, with potential consequences for behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clock genes may influence bipolar disorder susceptibility and dysfunctional circadian rhythm.

TL;DR: An interaction between three circadian genes in susceptibility to bipolar disorder is indicated, and SNPs in the ARNTL2, CLOCK, DBP, and TIMELESS genes showed suggestive evidence of association with several circadian phenotypes identified in BP patients.
