Identification of common variants associated with human hippocampal and intracranial volumes
(2012)Identifying genetic variants influencing human brain structures may reveal new biological mechanisms underlying cognition and neuropsychiatric illness. The volume of the hippocampus is a biomarker of incipient Alzheimer's ... -
Identifying relationships among genomic disease regions: predicting genes at pathogenic SNP associations and rare deletions.
(2009)Translating a set of disease regions into insight about pathogenic mechanisms requires not only the ability to identify the key disease genes within them, but also the biological relationships among those key genes. Here ... -
Identifying schizophrenia patients who carry pathogenic genetic copy number variants using standard clinical assessment: retrospective cohort study.
(2020)Background: Copy number variants (CNVs) play a significant role in disease pathogenesis in a small subset of individuals with schizophrenia (~2.5%). Chromosomal microarray testing is a first-tier genetic test for many ... -
The impact of study design and diagnostic approach in a larege multi-centre ADHD study. Part 1: ADHD Symptom patterns.
(2011)Background The International Multi-centre ADHD Genetics (IMAGE) project with 11 participating centres from 7 European countries and Israel has collected a large behavioural and genetic database for present and future ... -
The Imperative for Disease Modifying Treatments in Alzheimer s Disease
(Medical Association of Ireland, 2009)It is estimated that there are currently as many as 38,000 people with dementia in Ireland and that this figure may exceed 70,000 by 2026.1 Indeed the prevalence of dementia is rising worldwide and it is not surprising ... -
Implementing a court diversion and liaison scheme in a remand prison by systematic screening of new receptions: a 6 year participatory action research study of 20,084 consecutive male remands.
(2013)BACKGROUND: A mental health needs assessment in the Irish prison population confirmed findings from other jurisdictions showing high prevalence of severe mental illness, including psychosis amongst those newly committed. ... -
In God we trust? Organised religion and personal beliefs as resources and coping strategies, and their implications for health in parents with a child on the autistic spectrum
(1999)This paper is part of a larger study looking at the impact on 60 families of having a child with autistic spectrum disorder. Here the roles played by organised reliagion and personal belief and their relationship with ... -
Individual common variants exert weak effects on the risk for autism spectrum disorderspi.
(2012)While it is apparent that rare variation can play an important role in the genetic architecture of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), the contribution of common variation to the risk of developing ASD is less clear. To ... -
Inferring the model and onset of natural selection under varying population size from the site frequency spectrum and haplotype structure
(2019)A fundamental question about adaptation in a population is the time of onset of the selective pressure acting on beneficial alleles. Inferring this time, in turn, depends on the selection model. We develop a framework of ... -
Inversion effects in the perception of the moving human form - A comparison of adolescents with autism spectrum disorder and typically developing adolescents
(2013)The “body inversion effect” refers to superior recognition of upright than inverted images of the human body and indicates typical configural processing. Previous research by Reed et al. using static images of the human ...
