The evolutionary paradox and the missing heritability of schizophrenia.
Schizophrenia is one of the most detrimental common psychiatric disorders, occurring at a prevalence of approximately 1%, and characterized by increased mortality and reduced reproduction, especially in men. The heritability has been estimated around 70% and the genome-wide association meta-analyses conducted by the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium have been successful at identifying an increasi...
متن کاملHeritability lost; intelligence found
Probably nothing makes human beings more different from other species—and from one another— than their intelligence. The subject is of profound general interest—what the brain is for and how it works, the distinctiveness of the human mind, what makes us individual and human—yet delivers so little. Human intelligence remains poorly defined and characterized, even among those who most study it. R...
متن کاملThe cultural epigenetics of psychopathology: The missing heritability of complex diseases found?
We extend a cognitive paradigm for gene expression based on the asymptotic limit theorems of information theory to the epigenetic epidemiology of mental disorders. In particular, we recognize the fundamental role culture plays in human biology, another heritage mechanism parallel to, and interacting with, the more familiar genetic and epigenetic systems. We do this via a model through which cul...

متن کاملCytoskeleton: Missing links found?
The quest for the function of BPAG1, a major hemidesmosomal protein of skin keratinocytes, has led to the discovery of a group of protein isoforms derived from the same genomic locus that are involved in organizing and integrating cytoskeletal networks in sensory neurons.
