Am J Med Genet 97:12-7. 2000..More recently, twin studies have begun to be used to directly investigate molecular genetic and epigenetic processes underlying schizophrenia...
Genome wide significant linkage in schizophrenia conditioning on occurrence of depressive episodesM L Hamshere
Department of Psychological Medicine, Wales School of Medicine, Cardiff University, Henry Wellcome Building, Heath Park, Cardiff, CF14 4XN, UK
J Med Genet 43:563-7. 2006..093 times per genome scan, ILOD = 2.83). CONCLUSIONS: Our findings identify loci that may harbour genes that play a role in susceptibility to, or modify the risk of, episodes of major depression in people with schizophrenia...
Further support for an association between a polymorphic CAG repeat in the hKCa3 gene and schizophreniaT Bowen
University of Wales College of Medicine, Division of Psychological Medicine, Heath Park, Cardiff, UK
Mol Psychiatry 3:266-9. 1998..820, P = 0.047, 1-tail). Our data therefore provide modest support for the hypothesis that polymorphism in the hKCa3 gene may contribute to susceptibility to schizophrenia...
A two-stage genome scan for schizophrenia susceptibility genes in 196 affected sibling pairsN M Williams
Neuropsychiatric Genetics Unit, Departments of Psychological Medicine and Medical Genetics, University of Wales College of Medicine, Heath Park, Cardiff CF14 4XN, UK
Hum Mol Genet 8:1729-39. 1999..05, but only 0.70 to detect a locus of lambda(s)= 2. Our results suggest that common genes of major effect (lambda(s)> 3) are unlikely to exist for schizophrenia...

Dimensions of psychosis in affected sibling pairsA G Cardno
Medical Research Council, Department of Psychological Medicine, University of Wales College of Medicine, Cardiff, UK
Schizophr Bull 25:841-50. 1999..They may be weakly associated with such factors and with factors that do not contribute liability to schizophrenia but do influence the form taken by the illness...
Repeat sizes at CAG/CTG loci CTG18.1, ERDA1 and TGC13-7a in schizophreniaT Bowen
Division of Psychological Medicine, University of Wales College of Medicine, Cardiff, UK
Psychiatr Genet 10:33-7. 2000..No evidence for association of CTG18.1, ERDA1 and/or TGC13-7a with schizophrenia was found. The combined data accounted for only 54% of the CAG/CTG arrays of > 40 repeats found in our previous RED analysis...

Departments of Psychological Medicine and Medical Genetics, University of Wales College of Medicine, Cardiff, UK
Br J Psychiatry 179:39-45. 2001..CONCLUSIONS: The disorganised dimension, and possibly other symptom dimensions, may be useful phenotypes for molecular genetic studies of psychoses...

Division of Psychological Medicine, University of Wales College of Medicine, Heath Park, Cardiff CF14 4XN, UK
Schizophr Res 48:263-72. 2001..However, our results may have been affected by self-selection bias in probands and relatives and clinical heterogeneity among probands, which could have reduced our power to detect effects...

Neuropsychiatric Genetics Unit, Department of Psychological Medicine, University of Wales College of Medicine, Cardiff, United Kingdom
Am J Hum Genet 73:1355-67. 2003..02) to 17p11.2-q25.1 in a single pedigree with schizophrenia. In our view, the evidence is now sufficiently compelling to undertake detailed mapping studies of these three regions...

Aggressive behaviour in patients with schizophrenia is associated with catechol-O-methyltransferase genotypeG Jones
Department of Psychological Medicine, University of Wales College of Medicine, Cardiff, Wales, UK
Br J Psychiatry 179:351-5. 2001..Although the aetiology of aggression is multifactorial, three studies have reported associations between polymorphisms of the catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) gene and aggression in schizophrenia...
No evidence for allelic association between schizophrenia and a functional variant of the human dopamine beta-hydroxylase gene (DBH)H J Williams
Neuropsychiatric Genetics Department, University of Wales College of Medicine, Cardiff, United Kingdom
Am J Med Genet 88:557-9. 1999..08 in the control group, with no significant allelic or genotypic association observed. Therefore, we were unable to obtain evidence that this polymorphism contributes directly to susceptibility to schizophrenia...
