Genomewide association for schizophrenia in the CATIE study: results of stage 1

Molecular Psychiatry, 13(6), 570–584.

By: P. Sullivan*, D. Lin*, J. Tzeng n, E. van den Oord*, D. Perkins*, T. Stroup*, M. Wagner*, S. Lee* ...

author keywords: schizophrenia; genomewide association; CATIE
MeSH headings : Antipsychotic Agents / therapeutic use; Case-Control Studies; Computational Biology; DNA / genetics; DNA / isolation & purification; Genetic Markers; Genetic Variation; Genome, Human; Genotype; Humans; National Institute of Mental Health (U.S.); Polymorphism, Single Nucleotide; Schizophrenia / drug therapy; Schizophrenia / genetics; United States
TL;DR: These data do not provide evidence for the involvement of any genomic region with schizophrenia detectable with moderate sample size, however, a planned genomewide association study for response phenotypes and inclusion of individual phenotype and genotype data from this study in meta-analyses hold promise for eventual identification of susceptibility and protective variants.

Group A Streptococcus Transcriptome Dynamics during Growth in Human Blood Reveals Bacterial Adaptive and Survival Strategies

The American Journal of Pathology, 166(2), 455–465.

By: M. Graham*, K. Virtaneva*, S. Porcella*, W. Barry*, B. Gowen*, C. Johnson*, F. Wright*, J. Musser*

MeSH headings : DNA, Complementary / metabolism; Female; Flow Cytometry; Gene Expression Regulation, Bacterial; Humans; Male; Models, Biological; Mutation; Nucleic Acid Hybridization; Oligonucleotide Array Sequence Analysis; RNA / metabolism; RNA, Messenger / metabolism; Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction; Streptococcal Infections / blood; Streptococcal Infections / metabolism; Streptococcus / metabolism; Time Factors
TL;DR: Investigation of the transcriptome of a wild-type serotype M1 GAS strain in human blood reinforced the hypothesis that CovR-CovS has an important role linking key biosynthetic, catabolic, and virulence functions during transcriptome restructuring. (via Semantic Scholar)
