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...
Delineating the GRIN1 phenotypic spectrum: a distinct genetic NMDA receptor enc...
Lemke, Johannes R.; Geider, Kirsten; Helbig, Katherine L.; Heyne, Henrike O.; Schutz, Hannah; Hentschel, Julia; Courage, Carolina; Depienne, ChristelObjective:To determine the phenotypic spectrum caused by mutations in GRIN1 encoding the NMDA receptor subunit GluN1 and to investigate their underlying functional pathophysiology.Methods:We collected molecular and clinical data from several diagnostic and research cohorts. Functional consequences of GRIN1 mutations were investigated in Xenopus laevis oocytes.Results:We identified heterozygous de novo GRIN1 mut...
