Biological Insights From 108 Schizophrenia-Associated Genetic Loci
TLDR
Associations at DRD2 and several genes involved in glutamatergic neurotransmission highlight molecules of known and potential therapeutic relevance to schizophrenia, and are consistent with leading pathophysiological hypotheses.
Association analyses of 249,796 individuals reveal 18 new loci associated with body mass index
TLDR
18 new loci associated with body mass index are identified, one of which includes a copy number variant near GPRC5B, and genes in other newly associated loci may provide new insights into human body weight regulation.
Genome-wide Association Analysis Identifies 14 New Risk Loci for Schizophrenia
TLDR
It is estimated that 8,300 independent, mostly common SNPs contribute to risk for schizophrenia and that these collectively account for at least 32% of the variance in liability.
Common variants on chromosome 6p22.1 are associated with schizophrenia
TLDR
It is demonstrated that common schizophrenia susceptibility alleles can be detected and the characterization of these signals will suggest important directions for research on susceptibility mechanisms.
Genome-wide association study identifies five new schizophrenia loci
TLDR
The role of common genetic variation in schizophrenia in a genome-wide association study of substantial size is examined, suggesting MIR137-mediated dysregulation as a previously unknown etiologic mechanism in schizophrenia.
Genome-wide association study identifies 74 loci associated with educational attainment
TLDR
Because educational attainment is measured in large numbers of individuals, it will continue to be useful as a proxy phenotype in efforts to characterize the genetic influences of related phenotypes, including cognition and neuropsychiatric diseases.
Hundreds of variants clustered in genomic loci and biological pathways affect human height
TLDR
It is shown that hundreds of genetic variants, in at least 180 loci, influence adult height, a highly heritable and classic polygenic trait, and indicates that GWA studies can identify large numbers of loci that implicate biologically relevant genes and pathways.
Genetic relationship between five psychiatric disorders estimated from genome-wide SNPs
TLDR
Empirical evidence of shared genetic etiology for psychiatric disorders can inform nosology and encourages the investigation of common pathophysiologies for related disorders.
Association analyses of 249,796 individuals reveal eighteen new loci associated with body mass index
TLDR
Genetic loci associated with body mass index map near key hypothalamic regulators of energy balance, and one of these loci is near GIPR, an incretin receptor, which may provide new insights into human body weight regulation.
Synonymous mutations in the human dopamine receptor D2 (DRD2) affect mRNA stability and synthesis of the receptor.
TLDR
Some synonymous mutations in the human DRD2 have functional effects and suggest a novel genetic mechanism, calling into question some assumptions made about synonymous variation in molecular population genetics and gene-mapping studies of diseases with complex inheritance, and indicate that synonymous variation can have effects of potential pathophysiological and pharmacogenetic importance.
