Independent of genes expressed in brain, associations were enriched among genes expressed in tissues that have important roles in immunity, providing support for the speculated link between the immune system and schizophrenia.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:52:31 AEDT ]]> Evidence for genetic overlap between schizophrenia and age at first birth in women. https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29862 2 = 1.1E-03, P = 4.1E-04), reflecting the published relationship between maternal age and SCZ risk in offspring by McGrath et al in 2014. Conclusions and Relevance: This study provides evidence for a significant overlap between genetic factors associated with risk of SCZ and genetic factors associated with AFB. It has been reported that SCZ risk associated with increased maternal age is explained by the age of the father and that de novo mutations that occur more frequently in the germline of older men are the underlying causal mechanism. This explanation may need to be revised if, as suggested herein and if replicated in future studies, there is also increased genetic risk of SCZ in older mothers.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:40:47 AEDT ]]> Genetic variants associated with subjective well-being, depressive symptoms, and neuroticism identified through genome-wide analyses https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30267 n = 298,420), depressive symptoms (n = 161,460), and neuroticism (n = 170,911). We identify 3 variants associated with subjective well-being, 2 variants associated with depressive symptoms, and 11 variants associated with neuroticism, including 2 inversion polymorphisms. The two loci associated with depressive symptoms replicate in an independent depression sample. Joint analyses that exploit the high genetic correlations between the phenotypes (|ρˆ| ≈ 0.8) strengthen the overall credibility of the findings and allow us to identify additional variants. Across our phenotypes, loci regulating expression in central nervous system and adrenal or pancreas tissues are strongly enriched for association.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:33:37 AEDT ]]> Age at first birth in women is genetically associated with increased risk of schizophrenia https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43035 Mon 12 Sep 2022 11:49:25 AEST ]]> Association of Schizophrenia Risk with Disordered Niacin Metabolism in an Indian Genome-wide Association Study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49494 Fri 19 May 2023 10:52:01 AEST ]]>
