  11. Anterior thalamic dysfunction underlies cognitive deficits in a subset of neuropsychiatric disease models

    Publication
    Neuropsychiatric disorders are often accompanied by cognitive impairments/intellectual disability (ID). It is not clear whether there are converging mechanisms underlying these debilitating impairments. We found that many …
  12. Anterior thalamic dysfunction underlies cognitive deficits in a subset of neuropsychiatric disease models

    Publication
    Neuropsychiatric disorders are often accompanied by cognitive impairments/intellectual disability (ID). It is not clear whether there are converging mechanisms underlying these debilitating impairments. We found that many …
  13. Investigating rare pathogenic/likely pathogenic exonic variation in bipolar disorder

    Publication
    Bipolar disorder (BD) is a serious mental illness with substantial common variant heritability. However, the role of rare coding variation in BD is not well established. We examined …
  14. Protein-coding repeat polymorphisms strongly shape diverse human phenotypes

    Publication
    Hundreds of the proteins encoded in human genomes contain domains that vary in size or copy number due to variable numbers of tandem repeats (VNTRs) in protein-coding …
  15. Overexpression of schizophrenia susceptibility factor human complement C4A promotes excessive synaptic loss and behavioral changes in mice

    Publication
    The complement component 4 (C4) gene is linked to schizophrenia and synaptic refinement. In humans, greater expression of C4A in the brain is associated with an increased risk …
  16. Insights into dispersed duplications and complex structural mutations from whole genome sequencing 706 families.

    Publication
  17. Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals compromised immune microenvironment in precursor stages of multiple myeloma

    Publication
    Precursor states of Multiple Myeloma (MM) and its native tumor microenvironment need in-depth molecular characterization to better stratify and treat patients at risk. Using single-cell RNA …
  18. Single-cell RNA sequencing of microglia throughout the mouse lifespan and in the injured brain reveals complex cell-state changes.

    Publication
  19. Single-Cell RNA Sequencing of Microglia throughout the Mouse Lifespan and in the Injured Brain Reveals Complex Cell-State Changes

    Publication
    Microglia, the resident immune cells of the brain, rapidly change states in response to their environment, but we lack molecular and functional signatures of different microglial populations. Here …
  20. Insights into clonal haematopoiesis from 8,342 mosaic chromosomal alterations.

    Publication
  21. An analytical framework for whole-genome sequence association studies and its implications for autism spectrum disorder.
