Forstner A, Basmanav F, Mattheisen M, Bohmer A, Hollegaard M, Janson E, et al.
J Psychiatry Neurosci . 2014 Jun; 39(6):386-96. PMID: 24936775
Background: Schizophrenia is a complex neuropsychiatric disorder of unclear etiology. The strongest known genetic risk factor is the 22q11.2 microdeletion. Research has yet to confirm which genes within the deletion...

Basel-Vanagaite L, Dallapiccola B, Ramirez-Solis R, Segref A, Thiele H, Edwards A, et al.
Am J Hum Genet . 2012 Dec; 91(6):998-1010. PMID: 23200864
Ubiquitination plays a crucial role in neurodevelopment as exemplified by Angelman syndrome, which is caused by genetic alterations of the ubiquitin ligase-encoding UBE3A gene. Although the function of UBE3A has...

Miro X, Meier S, Dreisow M, Frank J, Strohmaier J, Breuer R, et al.
Am J Psychiatry . 2012 Sep; 169(9):982-90. PMID: 22952076
Objective: Genome-wide association has been reported between the NCAN gene and bipolar disorder. The aims of this study were to characterize the clinical symptomatology most strongly influenced by NCAN and...

Cichon S, Muhleisen T, Degenhardt F, Mattheisen M, Miro X, Strohmaier J, et al.
Am J Hum Genet . 2011 Mar; 88(3):372-81. PMID: 21353194
We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) and a follow-up study of bipolar disorder (BD), a common neuropsychiatric disorder. In the GWAS, we investigated 499,494 autosomal and 12,484 X-chromosomal SNPs...

Miro X, Zhou X, Boretius S, Michaelis T, Kubisch C, Alvarez-Bolado G, et al.
Dis Model Mech . 2009 Jun; 2(7-8):412-8. PMID: 19535498
Polycomb proteins are epigenetic regulators of gene expression. Human central nervous system (CNS) malformations are congenital defects of the brain and spinal cord. One example of a human CNS malformation...

Koelling S, Kruegel J, Irmer M, Path J, Sadowski B, Miro X, et al.
Cell Stem Cell . 2009 Apr; 4(4):324-35. PMID: 19341622
The regeneration of diseased hyaline cartilage continues to be a great challenge, mainly because degeneration--caused either by major injury or by age-related processes--can overextend the tissue's self-renewal capacity. We show...

Lindroth A, Park Y, McLean C, Dokshin G, Persson J, Herman H, et al.
PLoS Genet . 2008 Aug; 4(8):e1000145. PMID: 18670629
At the imprinted Rasgrf1 locus in mouse, a cis-acting sequence controls DNA methylation at a differentially methylated domain (DMD). While characterizing epigenetic marks over the DMD, we observed that DNA...

Reyes-Irisarri E, Perez-Torres S, Miro X, Martinez E, Puigdomenech P, Palacios J, et al.
Synapse . 2007 Oct; 62(1):74-9. PMID: 17960764
Phosphodiesterases (PDE) control intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels, which appear to play an important role in the regulation of inflammation. PDE4B is especially important in this process. Using in...

Miro X, Perez-Torres S, Artigas F, Puigdomenech P, Palacios J, Mengod G
Neuropharmacology . 2002 Dec; 43(7):1148-57. PMID: 12504921
Changes in brain cyclic AMP (cAMP) have been suggested to underlie the clinical action of antidepressant treatments. Also, a regionally-selective regulation of cAMP-specific phosphodiesterases (PDEs) has been demonstrated for some...

Miro X, Perez-Torres S, Puigdomenech P, Palacios J, Mengod G
Synapse . 2002 Jul; 45(4):259-69. PMID: 12125047
cAMP plays an important role as a second-messenger molecule controlling multiple cellular processes. Its hydrolysis provides an important mechanism by which cAMP levels are regulated. This is performed by a...
