The genetic basis of major depressive disorder

Jonathan Flint

Summary: Genome-wide association studies have identified multiple genetic risk loci and candidate genes for major depressive disorder (MDD). However, the use of minimal phenotyping methods in these studies may miss a significant portion of the genetic component unique to MDD. By utilizing biobank data, novel imputation methods, and more accurate clinical diagnosis, researchers can identify loci associated with the key features of MDD and better interpret the genetic mapping results.

The genetic architecture of schizophrenia: review of large-scale genetic studies

Hidekazu Kato et al.

Summary: Schizophrenia is a complex and chronic psychiatric disorder with a high heritability. Despite the lack of diagnostic tests or biomarkers, genetic research has made significant progress in our understanding of the genetic architecture of schizophrenia, including rare copy number variations (CNVs), rare single-nucleotide variants (SNVs), and common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). These genetic variants play crucial roles in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. New approaches such as CRISPR-based genetics and induced pluripotent stem cell technology can help further study the functional analysis of these variants. These advancements will contribute to the development of pathology-based therapeutics and a better understanding of the pathophysiology of schizophrenia.

Summary: Despite ongoing efforts to understand the molecular pathology of schizophrenia, it remains elusive. However, in the past two decades, significant progress has been made in understanding the genetic pathology, with over 20% of the liability to schizophrenia explained by common genetic variants. Rare mutations in specific genes have also been identified to substantially increase the risk for schizophrenia. These findings, along with studies on brain models and patient tissues, have provided new insights into the molecular pathology of schizophrenia.

Genetic diagnostic yields of 354 Chinese ASD children with rare mutations by a pipeline of genomic tests

Yue Zhang et al.

Summary: This study aims to establish an effective genomic diagnosis pipeline for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to investigate its genetic etiology and intervention. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) and RNA sequencing (RNAseq) were performed on 354 ASD patients, and pathogenic/likely pathogenic copy number variations (CNVs) and single nucleotide variations (SNVs) were detected. The rare mutations of CNVs and SNVs account for a relatively small proportion of ASD children, but are important for early etiological diagnosis and precise management.

Summary: Significant progress has been made in understanding the molecular basis of kidney diseases and identifying disease-causing genetic changes. Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) are highly diverse and known for their variable genotype-phenotype correlations. Although individually rare, genetic conditions underlying CAKUT collectively contribute to disease in approximately 16% of affected children. This review discusses the basic concepts of kidney development and genetics, common causes of monogenic CAKUT, and the approach to diagnosing and managing patients suspected to have monogenic CAKUT.

Additionally, copy number variants in the C4 gene previously associated with schizophrenia risk were correlated with higher C4A gene expression levels in patients with first-episode psychosis, confirming the regulatory effect of C4 structural variants on gene expression. Furthermore, significantly higher C4A serum concentrations were observed in patients with first-episode psychosis.

Rare variants and the oligogenic architecture of autism

Tianyun Wang et al.

Summary: This study provides evidence supporting an oligogenic model in which two or more ultrarare mutations with modest effects are preferentially transmitted to children with autism. These private gene-disruptive mutations are enriched in families with multiple affected individuals, emerged two or three generations ago, and map to genes not previously associated with autism. Although no single gene has reached statistical significance, this class of variation should be considered along with genetic and nongenetic factors to better explain the etiology of this complex trait.

Two Genetic Mechanisms in Two Siblings with Intellectual Disability, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and Psychosis

Summary: In this study, the genetic deficits in two siblings affected with ID and ASD were investigated. A microdeletion at 22q13.3 resulting in the haploinsufficiency of SHANK3 and several nearby genes was found in the younger sister, leading to the diagnosis of Phelan-McDermid syndrome. Whole-genome sequencing analysis in the family identified several rare, likely pathogenic variants in seven genes implicated in neurodevelopmental disorders in the elder brother. These variants have only moderate clinical effects and were transmitted from unaffected parents. The results suggest that the combination of multiple genes with moderate effects is part of the genetic mechanism of neurodevelopmental disorders.

Summary: The study reveals that dysbindin loss may impact certain aspects of presynaptic vesicle transmission, leading to changes in readily releasable pool size and calcium dependent vesicle replenishment under high-frequency stimulation. Additionally, dysbindin loss is also associated with slightly decreased expression levels of Munc18-1 and snapin, which are related to vesicle priming and synaptic homeostasis. These findings provide insights into cognitive impairment in schizophrenia.
