Psychiatric Disorders Fall Into Groups With Shared Genetic Contributors in GWAS Meta-Analysis
A genome-wide association study meta-analysis of eight psychiatric conditions led to new and known risk loci, and revealed three distinct groups of conditions.
Anorexia GWAS Yields Risk Loci with Metabolic, Psychiatric Overlap
A large genome-wide association meta-analysis and follow-up analyses revealed eight risk loci involving SNPs previously associated with body traits, metabolism, and psychiatric risk.
Six Loci Linked to Personality Traits in Meta-Analysis
The international team of researchers also examined the genetic ties between personality traits and psychiatric disorders.
Study Links Two Gene Variants, One Pathway to Eating Disorder Risk
NEW YORK (GenomeWeb News) – Researchers from the University of Iowa and the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center have uncovered variants in two related genes that appear to be associated with the risk of developing an eating disorder.
Study Suggests Both Common SNPs and Rare CNVs May Contribute to Anorexia Risk
By genotyping more than 1,000 individuals with anorexia nervosa and almost 4,000 unaffected controls, researchers have identified common SNPs and rare CNVs that appear to be linked to the condition.
