TL;DR: The primary analysis met empirical criteria for ‘aggregate’ genome-wide significance, indicating that some or all of 10 bins are likely to contain loci linked to SCZ, including regions of chromosomes 1, 2q, 3q, 4q, 5q, 8p and 10q.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental stress and psychiatric illness.
TL;DR: The role of early parental loss (EPL) in adult psychopathology, particularly major depression, and the relationship between recent significant life events and depressive episodes was investigated in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome scan of Arab Israeli families maps a schizophrenia susceptibility gene to chromosome 6q23 and supports a locus at chromosome 10q24
Bernard Lerer,R H Segman,Adnan Hamdan,Kyra Kanyas,Osnat Karni,Yoav Kohn,Mira Korner,Matthew B. Lanktree,M Kaadan,Neil Turetsky,A Yakir,Batsheva Kerem,Fabio Macciardi,Fabio Macciardi +13 more
TL;DR: The linkage the authors detected at chromosome 6q23 fulfills the criteria for genome-wide significance and is located approximately midway between loci suggested by a previous significant report at chromosomes 6q25 and findings located more centromerically at 6q21–22.
Journal Article
Aggression and sexual offense in Asperger's syndrome
TL;DR: An adolescent with Asperger's Syndrome whose main problems are his violence and sexual offenses is described, in contrast with the low prevalence of aggression and sexual offense in Aspergers, as reported in the literature.
Journal ArticleDOI
AHI1 , a pivotal neurodevelopmental gene, and C6orf217 are associated with susceptibility to schizophrenia
Daniela Amann-Zalcenstein,Nili Avidan,Kyra Kanyas,Richard P. Ebstein,Yoav Kohn,Adnan Hamdan,Edna Ben-Asher,Osnat Karni,Muhammed Mujaheed,Ronnen H. Segman,Wolfgang Maier,Fabio Macciardi,Jacques S. Beckmann,Jacques S. Beckmann,Doron Lancet,Bernard Lerer +15 more
TL;DR: Both, AHI1 and C6orf217 appear to be highly relevant candidate genes for schizophrenia, and the implicated genomic region harbors the Abelson Helper Integration Site 1 (AHI1) gene, which showed the strongest association signal.
