Autism prevalence following prenatal exposure to hurricanes and tropical storms in LouisianaDENNIS K KINNEY
Genetics Laboratory, McLean Hospital, 115 Mill St, Belmont, MA 02478, USA
J Autism Dev Disord 38:481-8. 2008..001). Results complement other evidence that factors disrupting development during sensitive gestational periods may contribute to autism...
A unifying hypothesis of schizophrenia: abnormal immune system development may help explain roles of prenatal hazards, post-pubertal onset, stress, genes, climate, infections, and brain dysfunctionDENNIS K KINNEY
Genetics Laboratory, Mailman Research Center, McLean Hospital, 115 Mill Street, Belmont, MA 02478, United States
Med Hypotheses 74:555-63. 2010..This possibility could be tested experimentally--e.g., by clinical trials in which patients' exposure to infection is reduced or immune function is normalized...
Prenatal stress and risk for autismDENNIS K KINNEY
Mailman Research Center, McLean Hospital, 115 Mill Street, Belmont, MA 02478, USA
Neurosci Biobehav Rev 32:1519-32. 2008..Finally, we discuss implications for understanding underlying processes in AD, including potential gene-environment interactions, and developing new therapies and early prevention programs...

Genetics Laboratory, McLean Hospital, NB G 28 115 Mill Street, Belmont, MA 02478, USA
Schizophr Bull 35:582-95. 2009..Research to elucidate environmental factors that underlie variations in schizophrenia prevalence deserves high priority...

Genetics Laboratory, McLean Hospital, Belmont, MA 02478, USA
J Nerv Ment Dis 197:561-7. 2009..The hypothesis also suggests that possible underlying infectious and immune factors deserve greater consideration in prevention and treatment of depression...

Research Grants
- OBSTETRIC COMPLICATIONS AND PATHOLOGY IN SCHIZOPHRENIADENNIS KINNEY; Fiscal Year: 2002..Key predictions of a "two-factor" etiologic model, in which OCs often interact with familial risk factors to produce schizophrenia, will also be tested. ..
- CREATIVITY AND LIABILITY FOR SCHIZOPHRENIADENNIS KINNEY; Fiscal Year: 2003..Knowledge that genes which increase risk for schizophrenia are also associated with creativity-enhancing traits would have important health implications for individuals and social decisions about how to apply new genetic knowledge. ..
