Neural Gene Ties, Psychiatric Disorder Clues Found Using Complex Structural Variant Detection Tool
With the help of a probabilistic, machine-learning approach called ARC-SV, researchers found and began characterizing the brain effects of complex structural variants.
PsychENCODE Research Collection Uncovers Molecular Processes in Brain Development, Disease
A set of new studies relied on RNA sequencing, single-cell analyses, and other molecular approaches to parse out brain-related processes, providing a resource for future brain research.
Rare Genetic Contributors to Left-Handedness Uncovered Using UK Biobank Exomes
An exome-wide association scan involving more than 351,300 UK Biobank participants highlighted rare coding variants in genes involved in microtubule processes and autism.
The test detects blood gene expression biomarkers that are predictive of high hallucination and high delusion states and future hospitalizations.
Multigene PGx Testing Improves Outcomes for Schizophrenia Patients, Randomized Study Shows
A study comparing Chinese patients who received therapy guided by genetic testing and those who got standard care showed better outcomes for those in the PGx arm.
