Ulfarsson M, Walters G, Gustafsson O, Steinberg S, Silva A, Doyle O, et al.
Transl Psychiatry . 2017 Apr; 7(4):e1109. PMID: 28440815
Several copy number variants have been associated with neuropsychiatric disorders and these variants have been shown to also influence cognitive abilities in carriers unaffected by psychiatric disorders. Previously, we associated...

Loviglio M, Leleu M, Mannik K, Passeggeri M, Giannuzzi G, van der Werf I, et al.
Mol Psychiatry . 2016 Jun; 22(6):836-849. PMID: 27240531
Copy number variants (CNVs) are major contributors to genomic imbalance disorders. Phenotyping of 137 unrelated deletion and reciprocal duplication carriers of the distal 16p11.2 220 kb BP2-BP3 interval showed that...

Thorgeirsson T, Steinberg S, Reginsson G, Bjornsdottir G, Rafnar T, Jonsdottir I, et al.
Mol Psychiatry . 2016 Mar; 21(5):594-600. PMID: 26952864
Using Icelandic whole-genome sequence data and an imputation approach we searched for rare sequence variants in CHRNA4 and tested them for association with nicotine dependence. We show that carriers of...

Thorgeirsson T, Gudbjartsson D, Sulem P, Besenbacher S, Styrkarsdottir U, Thorleifsson G, et al.
Transl Psychiatry . 2013 Oct; 3:e308. PMID: 24084939
Smoking influences body weight such that smokers weigh less than non-smokers and smoking cessation often leads to weight increase. The relationship between body weight and smoking is partly explained by...

Steinberg S, de Jong S, Mattheisen M, Costas J, Demontis D, Jamain S, et al.
Mol Psychiatry . 2012 Nov; 19(1):108-14. PMID: 23164818
Epidemiological and genetic data support the notion that schizophrenia and bipolar disorder share genetic risk factors. In our previous genome-wide association study, meta-analysis and follow-up (totaling as many as 18 ...

Amin N, Byrne E, Johnson J, Chenevix-Trench G, Walter S, Nolte I, et al.
Mol Psychiatry . 2011 Aug; 17(11):1116-29. PMID: 21876539
Coffee consumption is a model for addictive behavior. We performed a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWASs) on coffee intake from 8 Caucasian cohorts (N=18 176) and sought replication of...

Panoutsopoulou K, Southam L, Elliott K, Wrayner N, Zhai G, Beazley C, et al.
Ann Rheum Dis . 2010 Dec; 70(5):864-7. PMID: 21177295
Objectives: The genetic aetiology of osteoarthritis has not yet been elucidated. To enable a well-powered genome-wide association study (GWAS) for osteoarthritis, the authors have formed the arcOGEN Consortium, a UK-wide...

Steinberg S, Mors O, Borglum A, Gustafsson O, Werge T, Mortensen P, et al.
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...

Goldstein A, Stacey S, Olafsson J, Jonsson G, Helgason A, Sulem P, et al.
J Med Genet . 2008 Jan; 45(5):284-9. PMID: 18178632
Background: Germline CDKN2A mutations have been observed in 20-40% of high risk, melanoma prone families; however, little is known about their prevalence in population based series of melanoma cases and...
