Accurately assessing the risk of schizophrenia conferred by rare copy-number variation affecting genes with brain function.
(2010)Investigators have linked rare copy number variation (CNVs) to neuropsychiatric diseases, such as schizophrenia. One hypothesis is that CNV events cause disease by affecting genes with specific brain functions. Under these ... -
Analysis of the hexanucleotide repeat expansion and founder haplotype at C9ORF72 in an Irish psychosis case-control sample.
(2014)The hexonucleotide repeat expansion 'GGGGCC' at the C9ORF72 gene has been strongly linked with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia. There is some evidence for clinical and genetic overlap between ... -
Association of serotonin and dopamine gene pathways with behavioural subphenotypes in dementia.
(2012)Genetic association studies investigating the association between genes of serotonergic and dopaminergic systems and behavioral and psychological symptoms in dementia (BPSD) are contradictory. We have utilized 1008 probable ... -
Common polygenic variation in coeliac disease and confirmation of ZNF335 and NIFA as disease susceptibility loci
(2016)Coeliac disease (CD) is a chronic immune-mediated disease triggered by the ingestion of gluten. It has an estimated prevalence of approximately 1% in European populations. Specific HLA-DQA1 and HLA-DQB1 alleles are established ... -
Common Variants at ABCA7, MS4A6A/MS4A4E, EPHA1/CD33 and CD2AP are associated with Alzheimer's disease
(2011)We sought to identify new susceptibility loci for Alzheimer's disease through a staged association study (GERAD+) and by testing suggestive loci reported by the Alzheimer's Disease Genetic Consortium (ADGC) in a companion ... -
Convergent functional genomics of schizophrenia: from comprehensive understanding to genetic risk prediction
(2012)We have used a translational convergent functional genomics (CFG) approach to identify and prioritize genes involved in schizophrenia, by gene-level integration of genome-wide association study data with other genetic and ... -
Effects of MIR137 on fronto-amygdala functional connectivity.
(2014)MIR137 is implicated in brain development and encodes a microRNA that regulates neuronal maturation and adult neurogenesis. Recently, a common genetic variant within MIR137 showed genome wide evidence of association with ...
