Common polygenic variation contributes to risk of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder

…, M Helena Azevedo, CN Pato, JL Stone, DM Ruderfer… - Nature, 2009 - nature.com
Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder with a lifetime risk of about 1%, characterized by
hallucinations, delusions and cognitive deficits, with heritability estimated at up to 80% 1 , 2 . …

[HTML][HTML] Analysis of protein-coding genetic variation in 60,706 humans

…, MA Rivas, V Ruano-Rubio, SA Rose, DM Ruderfer… - Nature, 2016 - nature.com
Large-scale reference data sets of human genetic variation are critical for the medical and

Biological insights from 108 schizophrenia-associated genetic loci

…, AL Richards, JL Roffman, P Roussos, DM Ruderfer… - Nature, 2014 - nature.com
Schizophrenia is a highly heritable disorder. Genetic risk is conferred by a large number of
alleles, including common alleles of small effect that might be detected by genome-wide …

chromosomal abnormalities are thought to play a role. Methods As a first component of a …

De novo mutations in schizophrenia implicate synaptic networks

…, L Georgieva, E Rees, P Palta, DM Ruderfer… - Nature, 2014 - nature.com
Inherited alleles account for most of the genetic risk for schizophrenia. However, new (de
novo) mutations, in the form of large chromosomal copy number changes, occur in a small …

Collaborative genome-wide association analysis supports a role for ANK3 and CACNA1C in bipolar disorder

…, MC O'Donovan, YA Meng, IR Jones, DM Ruderfer… - Nature …, 2008 - nature.com
To identify susceptibility loci for bipolar disorder, we tested 1.8 million variants in 4,387 cases
and 6,209 controls and identified a region of strong association (rs10994336, P = 9.1 × 10 −…

Gene expression elucidates functional impact of polygenic risk for schizophrenia

…, DH Kavanagh, TM Perumal, DM Ruderfer… - Nature …, 2016 - nature.com
Over 100 genetic loci harbor schizophrenia-associated variants, yet how these variants
confer liability is uncertain. The CommonMind Consortium sequenced RNA from dorsolateral …

…, K Chambert, E Banks, SE Bergen, DM Ruderfer… - The American Journal of …, 2012 - cell.com
Sequencing of gene-coding regions (the exome) is increasingly used for studying human
disease, for which copy-number variants (CNVs) are a critical genetic component. However, …
