Mapping genomic loci implicates genes and synaptic biology in schizophrenia

…, RA Belliveau, J Bene, B Benyamin, SE Bergen… - Nature, 2022 - nature.com
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 …

Genome-wide association study of more than 40,000 bipolar disorder cases provides new insights into the underlying biology

…, SE Bergen, A Birner, C Bøcker Pedersen, E Bøen… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
Bipolar disorder is a heritable mental illness with complex etiology. We performed a genome-wide
association study of 41,917 bipolar disorder cases and 371,549 controls of European …

Genome-wide association study identifies 30 loci associated with bipolar disorder

…, R Belliveau, SE Bergen, CB Pedersen, E Bøen… - Nature …, 2019 - nature.com
Bipolar disorder is a highly heritable psychiatric disorder. We performed a genome-wide
association study (GWAS) including 20,352 cases and 31,358 controls of European descent, …

Genome-wide association analysis identifies 13 new risk loci for schizophrenia

…, JL Moran, AK Kähler, S Akterin, SE Bergen… - Nature …, 2013 - nature.com
Schizophrenia is an idiopathic mental disorder with a heritable component and a substantial
public health impact. We conducted a multi-stage genome-wide association study (GWAS) …

A polygenic burden of rare disruptive mutations in schizophrenia

…, K Chambert, SE Bergen, A Kähler, L Duncan, E Stahl… - Nature, 2014 - nature.com
Schizophrenia is a common disease with a complex aetiology, probably involving multiple
and heterogeneous genetic factors. Here, by analysing the exome sequences of 2,536 …

[PDF][PDF] Genomic relationships, novel loci, and pleiotropic mechanisms across eight psychiatric disorders

…, N Bass, M Bauer, BT Baune, F Bellivier, SE Bergen… - Cell, 2019 - cell.com
Genetic influences on psychiatric disorders transcend diagnostic boundaries, suggesting
substantial pleiotropy of contributing loci. However, the nature and mechanisms of these …

[PDF][PDF] Modeling linkage disequilibrium increases accuracy of polygenic risk scores

…, RA Belliveau, J Bene, SE Bergen, E Bevilacqua… - The american journal of …, 2015 - cell.com
Polygenic risk scores have shown great promise in predicting complex disease risk and will
become more accurate as training sample sizes increase. The standard approach for …

Contribution of copy number variants to schizophrenia from a genome-wide study of 41,321 subjects

…, SE Bergen, M Bertalan, E Bevilacqua… - Nature …, 2017 - nature.com
Copy number variants (CNVs) have been strongly implicated in the genetic etiology of
schizophrenia (SCZ). However, genome-wide investigation of the contribution of CNV to risk has …

[PDF][PDF] Partitioning heritability of regulatory and cell-type-specific variants across 11 common diseases

…, RA Belliveau, J Bene, SE Bergen, E Bevilacqua… - The American Journal of …, 2014 - cell.com
Regulatory and coding variants are known to be enriched with associations identified by
genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of complex disease, but their contributions to trait …

[PDF][PDF] Discovery and statistical genotyping of copy-number variation from whole-exome sequencing depth

…, JL Moran, K Chambert, E Banks, SE Bergen… - 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, …
