Rare coding variants in ten genes confer substantial risk for schizophrenia.
(2022-04-08)Rare coding variation has historically provided the most direct connections between gene function and disease pathogenesis. By meta-analysing the whole exomes of 24,248 schizophrenia cases and 97,322 controls, we implicate ... -
Mapping genomic loci implicates genes and synaptic biology in schizophrenia.
(2022-04-08)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 control ... -
Exome sequencing in bipolar disorder identifies AKAP11 as a risk gene shared with schizophrenia.
(2022-04-11)We report results from the Bipolar Exome (BipEx) collaboration analysis of whole-exome sequencing of 13,933 patients with bipolar disorder (BD) matched with 14,422 controls. We find an excess of ultra-rare protein-truncating ... -
