Psychiatric genetics and the structure of psychopathology
For over a century, psychiatric disorders have been defined by expert opinion and clinical
observation. The modern DSM has relied on a consensus of experts to define categorical …

A phenotypic spectrum of autism is attributable to the combined effects of rare variants, polygenic risk and sex
The genetic etiology of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is multifactorial, but how
combinations of genetic factors determine risk is unclear. In a large family sample, we show …

Polygenic transmission disequilibrium confirms that common and rare variation act additively to create risk for autism spectrum disorders
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) risk is influenced by common polygenic and de novo
variation. We aimed to clarify the influence of polygenic risk for ASD and to identify …
