Multipoint Quantitative-Trait Linkage Analysis in General Pedigrees
Laura Almasy,John Blangero +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown how variance-component linkage methods can be used in pedigrees of arbitrary size and complexity, and a general framework for multipoint identity-by-descent (IBD) probability calculations is developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cortical Thickness or Grey Matter Volume? The Importance of Selecting the Phenotype for Imaging Genetics Studies
Anderson M. Winkler,Peter Kochunov,John Blangero,Laura Almasy,Karl Zilles,Peter T. Fox,Ravindranath Duggirala,David C. Glahn,David C. Glahn +8 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that surface area and cortical thickness measurements should be considered separately and preferred over gray matter volumes for imaging genetic studies.

TL;DR: The ENIGMA Consortium has detected factors that affect the brain that no individual site could detect on its own, and that require larger numbers of subjects than any individual neuroimaging study has currently collected.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variations in GABRA2, Encoding the α2 Subunit of the GABAA Receptor, Are Associated with Alcohol Dependence and with Brain Oscillations
Howard J. Edenberg,Danielle M. Dick,Xiaoling Xuei,Huijun Tian,Laura Almasy,Lance O. Bauer,Raymond R. Crowe,Alison Goate,Victor Hesselbrock,Kevin A. Jones,Jennifer M. Kwon,Ting-Kai Li,John I. Nurnberger,Sean O'Connor,Theodore Reich,John P. Rice,Marc A. Schuckit,Bernice Porjesz,Tatiana Foroud,Henri Begleiter +19 more
TL;DR: The very strong association of GABRA2 with both alcohol dependence and the beta frequency of the electroencephalogram, combined with biological evidence for a role of this gene in both phenotypes, suggest that GABra2 might influence susceptibility to alcohol dependence by modulating the level of neural excitation.
