Neurocognitive endophenotypes for bipolar disorder identified in multiplex multigenerational families
(Arch Gen Psychiatry. 2010;67(2):168-177, 2010-02-01)
Context: Although genetic influences on bipolar disorder
are well established, localization of genes that predispose
to the illness has proven difficult. Given that genes
predisposing to bipolar disorder may be transmitted ...
A schizophrenia gene locus on chromosome 17q21 in a new set of families of mexican and central american ancestry: evidence from the NIMH genetics of schizophrenia in latino populations study
(Am J Psychiatry 2009;166:442-449, 2009-02-02)
The present study investigated a new set of families of Latin American ancestry in order to detect the location of genes predisposing to schizophrenia and related psychotic disorders. Method: A genome-wide scan was performed ...
The epsin 4 gene is associated with psychotic disorders in families of Latin American origin
(Schizophrenia Research vol. 106, num 2 (2008) 253–257, 2008-10-20)
This study attempted to replicate evidence for association of the Epsin 4 gene (which encodes
enthoprotin, a protein involved in vesicular transport) to schizophrenia in a new sample of
families segregating schizophrenia ...

Suggestive evidence for association between L-type voltage-gated calcium channel (CACNA1C) gene haplotypes and bipolar disorder in latinos: a family-based association study
(Bipolar Disorders 2013: 15: 206–214, 2013-02-25)
Objectives: Through recent genome-wide association studies (GWASs),
several groups have reported significant association between variants in
the calcium channel, voltage-dependent, L-type, alpha 1C subunit
(CACNA1C) and ...
The serotonin transporter 5-HTTPR polymorphism is associated with current and lifetime depression in persons with chronic psychotic disorders
(Acta Psychiatr Scand 2009: 119: 117–127, 2009-01-11)
Objective: Variation in the serotonin transporter gene (SLC6A4)
promoter region has been shown to influence depression in persons
who have been exposed to a number of stressful life events.
Method: We evaluated whether ...
Diagnosis of Schizophrenia in Latino Populations. A Comparison of Direct Interview and Consensus Based Multi-Source Methods
(Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease 2009;197: 530–535, 2009-07)
We determined the rates of agreement between diagnoses, using
the Diagnostic Interview for Genetic Studies (DIGS) and diagnoses arrived
at, using additional sources of information, to establish whether there are
differences ...
