The neuronal glutamate transporter gene SLC1A1 is a candidate gene for obsessive‐
compulsive disorder (OCD) based on linkage studies and convergent evidence implicating …

Objective Attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is an etiologically complex
heterogeneous behavioral disorder. Several studies have reported that ADHD subjects are …

Recent advances in high-throughput sequencing technologies make it increasingly more
efficient to sequence large cohorts for many complex traits. We discuss here a class of …

Exposure to stressors results in a spectrum of autonomic, endocrine, and behavioral
responses. A key pathway in this response to stress is the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal …

Advances in genome sequencing are providing unprecedented resolution of rare and
private variants. However, methods which assess the effect of these variants have relied …

Retinochoroiditis manifests in patients infected with Toxoplasma gondii. Here, we assessed
30 sibships and 89 parent/case trios of presumed ocular toxoplasmosis (POT) to evaluate …

Preterm birth (PTB) is a major global public health concern. However, little is known about
the pathophysiology of spontaneous idiopathic PTB. We tested the hypothesis that rare …

Background Preterm birth (PTB) is a complex disorder associated with significant neonatal
mortality and morbidity and long-term adverse health consequences. Multiple lines of …

Multiple lines of genetic evidence suggest a role for CNTNAP2 in autism. To assess its
population impact we studied 2148 common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) using …

On the basis of the converging evidence showing regulation of drinking behavior by 5-HT
3AB receptors and the serotonin transporter, we hypothesized that the interactive effects of …
