Mol Psychiatry . 2010 Jan; 16(1):59-66. PMID: 20048749
A trio of genome-wide association studies recently reported sequence variants at three loci to be significantly associated with schizophrenia. No sequence polymorphism had been unequivocally (P<5 × 10(-8)) associated with...

Objective: Autosomal dominand polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is one of the most common genetic diseases in humans and accounts for 8-10% of end-stage renal failure. The disease is caused by...

Genes Immun . 2003 Dec; 4(8):559-63. PMID: 14647195
Epidemiological studies show that susceptibility to multiple sclerosis (MS) has a strong genetic component, but apart from the HLA gene complex, additional genetic factors have proven difficult to map in...

J Neuroimmunol . 2003 Oct; 143(1-2):70-3. PMID: 14575917
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disease of the central nervous system with complex genetic background. In the present study, based in the Finnish population, we typed a large number...

J Am Soc Nephrol . 1999 Nov; 10(11):2342-51. PMID: 10541293
It is estimated that approximately 15% of families with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) have mutations in PKD2. Identification of these mutations is central to identifying functionally important regions...

Ann Rheum Dis . 1998 Nov; 57(8):503-5. PMID: 9797559
Objective: To perform an exploratory analysis of the relative contribution of single MHC genes to the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in a homogenous white population. Methods: MHC class...

Am J Hum Genet . 1997 Oct; 61(3):547-55. PMID: 9326320
Recently the second gene for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), located on chromosome 4q21-q22, has been cloned and characterized. The gene encodes an integral membrane protein, polycystin-2, that shows...
