Schizophrenia has a heritability of 60–80%1, much of which is attributable to common risk alleles. Here, in a two-stage genome-wide association study of up to 76,755 individuals with schizophrenia and 243,649 control individuals, we report common variant associations at 287 distinct genomic loci. Associations were concentrated in genes that are expressed in excitatory and inhibitory neurons of the

Rare coding variants in ten genes confer substantial risk for schizophrenia Nature (IF 49.962) Pub Date : 2022-04-08 Tarjinder Singh, Timothy Poterba, David Curtis, Huda Akil, Mariam Al Eissa, Jack D. Barchas, Nicholas Bass, Tim B. Bigdeli, Gerome Breen, Evelyn J. Bromet, Peter F. Buckley, William E. Bunney, Jonas Bybjerg-Grauholm, William F. Byerley, Sinéad B. Chapman, Wei J. Chen, Claire Churchhouse, Nicholas Craddock, Caroline M. Cusick, Lynn DeLisi, Sheila Dodge, Michael A. Escamilla, Saana Eskelinen, Ayman H
Rare coding variation has historically provided the most direct connections between gene function and disease pathogenesis. By meta-analysing the whole exomes of 24,248 schizophrenia cases and 97,322 controls, we implicate ultra-rare coding variants (URVs) in 10 genes as conferring substantial risk for schizophrenia (odds ratios of 3–50, P?2.14?×?10?6) and 32 genes at a false discovery rate of <5%

Phage anti-CBASS and anti-Pycsar nucleases subvert bacterial immunity Nature (IF 49.962) Pub Date : 2022-04-08 Samuel J. Hobbs, Tanita Wein, Allen Lu, Benjamin R. Morehouse, Julia Schnabel, Azita Leavitt, Erez Yirmiya, Rotem Sorek, Philip J. Kranzusch
CBASS and Pycsar are anti-phage defense systems in diverse bacteria that use cyclic nucleotide signals to induce cell death and prevent viral propagation1,2. Phages use multiple strategies to defeat host CRISPR and restriction-modification systems3–10, but no mechanisms are known to evade CBASS and Pycsar immunity. Here we show that phages encode anti-CBASS (Acb) and anti-Pycsar (Apyc) proteins that
