    Coexpression network analysis of the adult brain sheds light on the pathogenic mechanism of DDR1 in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder

    DDR1 has been linked to schizophrenia (SCZ) and bipolar disorder (BD) in association studies. DDR1 encodes 58 distinct transcripts, which can be translated into five isoforms (DDR1a-e) and are expressed in the br...

    Recent natural selection conferred protection against schizophrenia by non-antagonistic pleiotropy

    Schizophrenia is a debilitating psychiatric disorder associated with a reduced fertility and decreased life expectancy, yet common predisposing variation substantially contributes to the onset of the disorder,...

    Common genetic variants contribute to heritability of age at onset of schizophrenia

    Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a complex disorder that typically arises in late adolescence or early adulthood. Age at onset (AAO) of SCZ is associated with long-term outcomes of the disease. We explored the genetic a...

    Shared genetic architecture between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and lifespan

    There is evidence linking ADHD to a reduced life expectancy. The mortality rate in individuals with ADHD is twice that of the general population and it is associated with several factors, such as unhealthy lif...

    Risk factors for metabolic syndrome in individuals with recent-onset psychosis at disease onset and after 1-year follow-up

    Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of parameters encompassing the most dangerous heart attack risk factors, associated with increased morbidity and mortality. It is highly prevalent in recent-onset psychos...

    Map** genomic loci implicates genes and synaptic biology in schizophrenia

    Schizophrenia has a heritability of 60–80%1, much of which is attributable to common risk alleles. Here, in a two-stage genome-wide association study of up to 76,755 individuals with schizophrenia and 243,649 con...

    Polygenic contribution to the relationship of loneliness and social isolation with schizophrenia

    Previous research suggests an association of loneliness and social isolation (LNL-ISO) with schizophrenia. Here, we demonstrate a LNL-ISO polygenic score contribution to schizophrenia risk in an independent ca...

    The shared genetic architecture of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and lifespan

    Psychiatric disorders such as Schizophrenia (SCZ) and Bipolar Disorder (BD) represent an evolutionary paradox, as they exhibit strong negative effects on fitness, such as decreased fecundity and early mortalit...

    Genome-wide association analyses of risk tolerance and risky behaviors in over 1 million individuals identify hundreds of loci and shared genetic influences

    Humans vary substantially in their willingness to take risks. In a combined sample of over 1 million individuals, we conducted genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of general risk tolerance, adventurousness,...

    Interhemispheric gene expression differences in the cerebral cortex of humans and macaque monkeys

    Handedness and language are two well-studied examples of asymmetrical brain function in humans. Approximately 90% of humans exhibit a right-hand preference, and the vast majority shows left-hemisphere dominanc...
