What Researchers Know about the Genetic Complexity of Schizophrenia, To Date
A new review article written by researchers at the UNC School of Medicine and the Karolinska Institutet, outline the genetic, neurobiological, and environmental foundations that contribute to the development of schizophrenia.
Largest-Ever Genetic Study of Suicide Finds New Risk Factors
The reasons why people attempt suicide are complex and include external triggers like trauma and stress, as well as inherited genetic factors. A new study has identified 12 DNA variants, or variations in the human genetic code, that are associated with risk of attempting suicide.
International Team Identifies 127 Glaucoma Genes in Largest Study of Its Kind
In the largest genome-wide association study of glaucoma to date, an international team of researchers compared the genes of 34,179 people with the disease to 349,321 control subjects. They identified 127 genes linked to glaucoma, including 44 new gene loci and confirmed 83 previously reported loci.
Polygenic risk score improves psychosis risk prediction
A new study led by researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has found that that using a polygenic risk score (PRS) based on data from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) improves psychosis risk prediction in persons meeting clinical high-risk criteria.
