Genomic Analysis of Trichotillomania

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Trichotillomania (TTM) is a psychiatric condition in which people feel an overwhelming urge to pull out their hair, resulting in noticeable hair loss and significant distress. Twin and family studies suggest that TTM is at least partly genetic, but no genome‐wide analyses have been completed.

Genome Sequencing Uncovers Additional Findings in Phelan‐McDermid Syndrome

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Phelan‐McDermid syndrome (PMS) is a genetic condition caused by deletions of chromosome 22q13.3 or pathogenic variants in the SHANK3 gene. Neurologic features typically include intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder, hypotonia, and absent speech, though there is considerable variability even among individuals with the same molecular

The conceptual relevance of assessment measures in patients with mild/mild-moderate Alzheimer\u27s disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Introduction: This study aims to evaluate the conceptual relevance of four measures of disease activity in patients with mild/mild-moderate Alzheimer\u27s disease (AD): (1) the Alzheimer\u27s Disease Assessment Scale–Cognitive Subscale; (2) the Alzheimer\

Women can bear a bigger burden: ante- and post-mortem evidence for reserve in the face of tau. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
In this study, we aimed to assess whether women are able to withstand more tau before exhibiting verbal memory impairment. Using data from 121 amyloid-β-positive Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative participants, we fit a linear model with Rey ...

The Role of SLC39A8.p.(Ala391Thr) in Schizophrenia Symptom Severity and Cognitive Ability: Cross‐Sectional Studies of Schizophrenia and the General UK Population

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The missense SNP NC_000004.12:g.102267552C>T (also known as SLC39A8.p.(Ala391Thr), rs13107325) in SLC39A8 encodes a zinc transporter. This SNP has been linked to schizophrenia and is the likely causal variant for one of the genome‐wide association loci associated with the disorder. Using regression analyses, we tested whether the schizophrenia‐

Genome‐Wide Insights and Polygenic Risk Scores in Common Epilepsies: A Narrative Review

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The research of single gene‐related disorders or pathogenic copy‐number variations (CNVs) has given a significant impetus to the shift from a diagnostic work‐up focused on epileptic syndromes to genomic approaches in individuals with severe pediatric‐onset epilepsies and in developmental and epileptic encephalopathies.
