The genomic basis of mood instability: identification of 46 loci in 363,705 UK Biobank participants, genetic correlation with psychiatric disorders, and association with gene expression and function
(2019)
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of psychiatric phenotypes have tended to focus on categorical diagnoses, but to understand the biology of mental illness it may be more useful to study traits which cut across traditional ...
Unraveling Mechanisms of Patient-Specific NRXN1 Mutations in Neuropsychiatric Diseases Using Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
(2020-03)
Rare heterozygous deletions in the neurexin 1 (NRXN1) gene robustly increase an individual's risk of developing neurological and psychiatric disorders. However, the molecular bases by which different mutations result in ...
Induced pluripotent stem cells in psychiatry: a critical review
(2021-01)
A key challenge in psychiatry research is the development of high-fidelity model systems that can be experimentally manipulated to explore and test pathophysiological mechanisms of illness. In this respect, the emerging ...
The Oxford study of Calcium channel Antagonism, Cognition, Mood instability and Sleep (OxCaMS): study protocol for a randomised controlled, experimental medicine study
(2019-02)
Background:
The discovery that voltage-gated calcium channel genes such as CACNA1C are part of the aetiology of psychiatric disorders has rekindled interest in the therapeutic potential of L-type calcium channel (LTCC) ...
