• Candidate gene analysis of spontaneous preterm delivery: New insights from re-analysis of a case-control study using case-parent triads and control-mother dyads 

      Myking, Solveig; Myhre, Ronny; Gjessing, Håkon K.; Morken, Nils-Halvdan; Sengpiel, Verena; Williams, Scott M.; Ryckman, Kelli K.; Magnus, Per; Jacobsson, Bo (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-12-30)
      Background: Spontaneous preterm delivery (PTD) has a multifactorial etiology with evidence of a genetic contribution to its pathogenesis. A number of candidate gene case-control studies have been performed on spontaneous ...

      Christoforou, Andrea; Espeseth, Thomas; Davis, G.; Fernandes, Carla P.D.; Giddaluru, Sudheer; Mattheisen, Manuel; Tenesa, A.; Harris, Sarah E.; Liewald, David C; Payton, Anthony; Ollier, W; Horan, M.; Pendleton, Neil; Haggarty, Paul; Djurovic, Srdjan; Herms, Stefan; Hoffman, P.; Cichon, Sven; Starr, John M; Lundervold, Astri; Reinvang, Ivar; Steen, Vidar Martin; Deary, Ian J; Le Hellard, Stephanie (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-09)
      Cognitive abilities vary among people. About 40–50% of this variability is due to general intelligence (g), which reflects the positive correlation among individuals' scores on diverse cognitive ability tests. g is positively ...
    • Human cognitive ability is influenced by genetic variation in components of postsynaptic signalling complexes assembled by NMDA receptors and MAGUK proteins 

      Hill, Wayne David; Davies, Gail; Van De Lagemaat, Louie N.; Christoforou, Andrea; Marioni, Riccardo R.; Duarte Fernandes, Carla; Liewald, David Cherry; Croning, Mike D.R.; Payton, Anthony; Craig, Leone C.A.; Whalley, Lawrence J.; Horan, Michael; Ollier, William E.R.; Hansell, Narelle K.; Wright, Margaret J.; Martin, Nicholas G.; Montgomery, Grant W.; Steen, Vidar Martin; Le Hellard, Stephanie; Espeseth, Thomas; Lundervold, Astri; Reinvang, Ivar; Starr, John M.; Pendleton, Neil; Grant, Seth G.N.; Bates, Timothy C.; Deary, Ian John (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)
      Differences in general cognitive ability (intelligence) account for approximately half of the variation in any large battery of cognitive tests and are predictive of important life events including health. Genome-wide ...
