What is complex about complex disorders?Kevin J Mitchell
Smurfit Institute of Genetics and Institute of Neuroscience, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin 2, Ireland
Genome Biol 13:237. 2012..Rather than being polygenic, complex disorders probably represent umbrella terms for collections of conditions caused by rare, recent mutations in any of a large number of different genes...
Boundary cap cells constrain spinal motor neuron somal migration at motor exit points by a semaphorin-plexin mechanismRomke Bron
MRC Centre for Developmental Neurobiology, King s College London, Guy s Campus, London Bridge, London, SE1 1UL, UK
Neural Dev 2:21. 2007..Here we used RNA interference in the chick embryo together with analysis of null mutant mice to identify possible boundary cap cell ligands, their receptors on motor neurons and cytoplasmic signalling molecules that control this process...

Rethinking the genetic architecture of schizophreniaK J Mitchell
Smurfit Institute of Genetics, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland
Psychol Med 41:19-32. 2011..Here we ask how this discrepancy between theory and data arose and propose a rationalization of the recent evidence base...
Curiouser and curiouser: genetic disorders of cortical specializationKevin J Mitchell
Smurfit Institute of Genetic and Institute of Neuroscience, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin 2, Ireland
Curr Opin Genet Dev 21:271-7. 2011..Here, I consider recent advances in our understanding of the genetic and neurobiological bases of these conditions and the developmental mechanisms underlying the specialization of cortical areas and networks...

Mutation of Semaphorin-6A disrupts limbic and cortical connectivity and models neurodevelopmental psychopathologyAnnette E Rünker
Smurfit Institute of Genetics and Institute of Neuroscience, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland
PLoS ONE 6:e26488. 2011..The biological data presented here also make these genes plausible candidates to explain human linkage findings for schizophrenia and autism...
Functional genomics and schizophrenia: endophenotypes and mutant modelsJohn L Waddington
Molecular and Cellular Therapeutics, Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, Dublin 2, Ireland
Psychiatr Clin North Am 30:365-99. 2007..It examines gene-gene and gene-environment interactions. Finally, it looks at future directions for research...
Semaphorin-6A controls guidance of corticospinal tract axons at multiple choice pointsAnnette E Rünker
Smurfit Institute of Genetics, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland
Neural Dev 3:34. 2008..To assess the involvement of transmembrane semaphorins and their plexin receptors in the guidance of CST axons, we have examined this tract in mutants of Semaphorin-6A (Sema6A), Plexin-A2 (PlxnA2) and Plexin-A4 (PlxnA4)...
Differences in early sensory-perceptual processing in synesthesia: a visual evoked potential studyKylie J Barnett
Institute of Neuroscience TCIN, Lloyd Building, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin 2, Ireland
Neuroimage 43:605-13. 2008..We discuss our results with reference to widespread connectivity differences as a broader phenotype of synesthesia...

Plexin-A2 and its ligand, Sema6A, control nucleus-centrosome coupling in migrating granule cellsJulie Renaud
Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, UMR7102, 9 quai Saint Bernard, Paris F 75005, France
Nat Neurosci 11:440-9. 2008..This suggests that semaphorin-plexin signaling modulates cell migration by controlling centrosome positioning...
