Allelic Differences Between Han Chinese and Europeans for Functional Variants in ZNF804A and Their Association With Schizophrenia

TL;DR: The results suggest that ZNF804A is a common risk gene for schizophrenia in world populations and that the newly identified functional SNP (rs359895) is likely a risk SNP for schizophrenia.
Journal ArticleDOI

The protocadherin 17 gene affects cognition, personality, amygdala structure and function, synapse development and risk of major mood disorders

TL;DR: Brain expressed protocadherin 17 (PCDH17) is revealed as a susceptibility gene for major mood disorders involved in synaptic function and related intermediate phenotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI

BDNF Val66Met polymorphism and bipolar disorder in European populations: A risk association in case-control, family-based and GWAS studies.

TL;DR: It appears that the risk for MDD conferred by BDNF is waning, as the Val66Met variant was not associated with MDD in either European or Asian samples, and the results showed that the Val 66Met polymorphism was significantly associated with BPD in Europeans.
Journal ArticleDOI

The schizophrenia risk gene ZNF804A: clinical associations, biological mechanisms and neuronal functions.

TL;DR: This review for the first time systematically presents the evidence for ZNF804A, describing its discovery and likely roles in brain development and schizophrenia pathogenesis, and summarizes this information with a systemic and broad assessment of recent findings.
