The genetics of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder: dissecting psychosis

N Craddock, MC O'Donovan, MJ Owen - Journal of medical genetics, 2005 - jmg.bmj.com
Much work has been done to identify susceptibility genes in schizophrenia and bipolar
disorder. Several well established linkages have emerged in schizophrenia. Strongly supported …

Genes for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder? Implications for psychiatric nosology

N Craddock, MC O'Donovan, MJ Owen - 2006 - academic.oup.com
It has been conventional for psychiatric research, including the search for predisposing
genes, to proceed under the assumption that schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are separate …

Biological insights from 108 schizophrenia-associated genetic loci

…, T Werge, MJ Daly, PF Sullivan, MC O'Donovan - 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 …

…, D Church, L Doucette-Stamm, MC O'Donovan… - Cell, 1993 - cell.com
The Huntington's disease (HD) gene has been mapped in 4p16.3 but has eluded identification.

Meta-analysis of 74,046 individuals identifies 11 new susceptibility loci for Alzheimer's disease

…, PV Jonsson, O Combarros, MC O'Donovan… - Nature …, 2013 - nature.com
Eleven susceptibility loci for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) were identified by previous
studies; however, a large portion of the genetic risk for this disease remains unexplained. …

De novo mutations in schizophrenia implicate synaptic networks

…, P Sklar, MJ Owen, SM Purcell, MC O'Donovan - Nature, 2014 - nature.com
Inherited alleles account for most of the genetic risk for schizophrenia. However, new (de
