Analysis of shared heritability in common disorders of the brain
Anttila, Verneri; Bulik-Sullivan, Brendan; Finucane, Hilary K.; Walters, Raymond K.; Bras, Jose; Duncan, Laramie; Escott-Price, ValentinaDisorders of the brain can exhibit considerable epidemiological comorbidity and often share symptoms, provoking debate about their etiologic overlap. We quantified the genetic sharing of 25 brain disorders from genome-wide association studies of 265,218 patients and 784,643 control participants and assessed their relationship to 17 phenotypes from 1,191,588 individuals. Psychiatric disorders share common varian...
Rare chromosomal deletions and duplications increase risk of schizophrenia
Craddock, N. J.; Gill, M.; Hultman, C. M.; Lichtenstein, P.; McQuillin, A.; Pato, Carlos N.; Ruderfer, D. M.; Owen, M. J.; St Clair, DavidSchizophrenia is a severe mental disorder marked by hallucinations, delusions, cognitive deficits and apathy, with a heritability estimated at 73–90% (ref. 1). Inheritance patterns are complex, and the number and type of genetic variants involved are not understood. Copy number variants (CNVs) have been identified in individual patients with schizophrenia and also in neurodevelopmental disorders, but large-scal...
