Whole-genome association study of bipolar disorderP Sklar
Center for Human Genetic Research, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA 02114, USA
Mol Psychiatry 13:558-69. 2008..Given the heritability of BP disorder, the lack of agreement between studies emphasizes that susceptibility alleles are likely to be modest in effect size and require even larger samples for detection...- Further evidence of association between two NET single-nucleotide polymorphisms with ADHDJ W Kim
Psychiatric and Neurodevelopmental Genetics Unit, Center for Human Genetic Research, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02114, USA
Mol Psychiatry 13:624-30. 2008..This is the first time that identical alleles of NET from different studies were implicated, and thus our report provides further evidence that the NET gene is involved in the etiology of ADHD... - Investigation of variation in SNAP-25 and ADHD and relationship to co-morbid major depressive disorderJ W Kim

Depression Clinic and Research Program, Department of Psychiatry, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA, USA
Psychol Med 42:41-50. 2012..Electronic medical records (EMR) provide a unique opportunity for efficient, large-scale clinical investigation in psychiatry.

Psychol Med 41:1593-604. 2011..This study aimed to determine whether there is a characteristic personality profile in BD, and whether associations between BD and personality are best explained by state or trait effects... - The genetics of panic disorderC T Finn
Department of Psychiatry, Massachusetts General Hospital, 15 Parkman Street, WACC 812, Boston, MA 02114, USA
Curr Psychiatry Rep 3:131-7. 2001..We review the genetic epidemiology of PD as well as recent molecular genetic studies of the disorder, and conclude with a discussion of promising strategies that attempt to uncover specific genetic loci involved in the etiology of PD... - Genetic association analysis of behavioral inhibition using candidate loci from mouse modelsJ W Smoller
