    • Cognitive analysis of schizophrenia risk genes that function as epigenetic regulators of gene expression 

      Whitton, Laura; Cosgrove, Donna; Clarkson, Christopher; Harold, Denise; Kendall, Kimberley; Richards, Alex; Mantripragada, Kiran; Owen, Michael J.; O'Donovan, Michael C.; Walters, James; Hartmann, Annette; Konte, Betina; Rujescu, Dan; Gill, Michael; Corvin, Aiden; Rea, Stephen; Donohoe, Gary; Morris, Derek W. (Wiley, 2016-10-20)
      Epigenetic mechanisms are an important heritable and dynamic means of regulating various genomic functions, including gene expression, to orchestrate brain development, adult neurogenesis, and synaptic plasticity. These ...

    • Population‐based identity‐by‐descent mapping combined with exome sequencing to detect rare risk variants for schizophrenia 

      Harold, Denise; Connolly, Siobhan; Riley, Brien P.; Kendler, Kenneth S.; McCarthy, Shane E.; McCombie, William R.; Richards, Alex; Owen, Michael J.; O'Donovan, Michael C.; Walters, James; Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium 2; Schizophrenia Working Group of the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium; Donohoe, Gary; Gill, Michael; Corvin, Aiden; Morris, Derek W. (Wiley, 2019-02-23)
      Genome‐wide association studies (GWASs) are highly effective at identifying common risk variants for schizophrenia. Rare risk variants are also important contributors to schizophrenia etiology but, with the exception of ...
