This study recontacts individuals with rare copy number variants associated with neurodevelopmental disorders from a multi-ancestry biobank to assess phenotypes and evaluate recall-by-genotype feasibility in psychiatry.

The paper estimates heritability of postpartum psychosis using genomic data and identifies potential risk genes, showing overlaps with psychiatric and autoimmune disorders.

The paper develops a model to analyze X-linked rare variation in ASD, identifying 9 genes associated with ASD and explaining how X-linked variation could contribute to sex-differential prevalence.

This study investigates genetic relationships between OCD, BD, SCZ, and MDD using GWAS data, finding causal effects of OCD on BD, SCZ, and MDD.

This study identifies moderate effect size genes in ASD through a gene pairing approach, showing their combined contribution to ASD liability.

This study identifies six genome-wide significant risk loci for tic disorders and links genetic risk to specific brain cell types and circuits.

This study identifies 30 genome-wide significant loci for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) using a large GWAS, linking risk to specific brain cell types and shared genetic risk with other psychiatric and non-psychiatric traits.

This paper identifies 35 genome-wide significant ASD risk genes in admixed Latin American populations, showing consistency with European cohorts and supporting the universality of ASD biology.

This study identifies 99 genes associated with autism spectrum disorder through large-scale exome sequencing, showing differences in mutation frequencies between ASD and severe neurodevelopmental delay groups.
