      C-reactive protein (CRP) tends to be elevated in individuals with psychiatric disorders. Recent findings have suggested a protective effect of the genetic liability to elevated CRP on schizophrenia risk and a causative ...
    • Genome-wide analyses reveal novel opioid use disorder loci and genetic overlap with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depression 

      Holen, Børge; Shadrin, Alexey; Icick, Romain; Filiz, Tahir Tekin; Hindley, Guy Frederick Lanyon; Rødevand, Linn; O'Connell, Kevin Sean; Hagen, Espen; Frei, Oleksandr; Bahrami, Shahram; Cheng, Weiqiu; Parker, Nadine; Woldeyohannes, Markos Tesfaye; Jaholkowski, Piotr Pawel; Karadag, Naz; Dale, Anders M; Djurovic, Srdjan; Smeland, Olav Bjerkehagen; Andreassen, Ole (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Opioid use disorder (OUD) and mental disorders are often comorbid, with increased morbidity and mortality. The causes underlying this relationship are poorly understood. Although these conditions are highly heritable, their ...
    • Genome-wide analysis of anorexia nervosa and major psychiatric disorders and related traits reveals genetic overlap and identifies novel risk loci for anorexia nervosa 

      Bang, Lasse; Bahrami, Shahram; Hindley, Guy; Smeland, Olav Bjerkehagen; Rødevand, Linn; Jaholkowski, Piotr Pawel; Shadrin, Alexey; O'Connell, Kevin Sean; Frei, Oleksandr; Lin, Aihua; Rahman, Zillur; Cheng, Weiqiu; Parker, Nadine; Fan, Chun C.; Dale, Anders M.; Djurovic, Srdjan; Bulik, Cynthia M.; Andreassen, Ole (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a heritable eating disorder (50–60%) with an array of commonly comorbid psychiatric disorders and related traits. Although significant genetic correlations between AN and psychiatric disorders and ...
    • Genome-wide Association Analysis of Schizophrenia and Vitamin D Levels Shows Shared Genetic Architecture and Identifies Novel Risk Loci 

      Jaholkowski, Piotr Pawel; Hindley, Guy; Shadrin, Alexey; Tesfaye, Markos; Bahrami, Shahram; Nerhus, Mari; Rahman, Zillur; O'Connell, Kevin Sean; Holen, Børge; Parker, Nadine; Cheng, Weiqiu; Lin, Aihua; Rødevand, Linn; Karadag, Naz; Frei, Oleksandr; Djurovic, Srdjan; Dale, Anders M.; Smeland, Olav Bjerkehagen; Andreassen, Ole (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Low vitamin D (vitD) levels have been consistently reported in schizophrenia (SCZ) suggesting a role in the etiopathology. However, little is known about the role of underlying shared genetic mechanisms. We applied a ...
    • Polygenic overlap with body-mass index improves prediction of treatment-resistant schizophrenia 

      O'Connell, Kevin Sean; Koch, Elise; Lenk, Hasan Cagin; Akkouh, Ibrahim Ahmed; Hindley, Guy Frederick Lanyon; Jaholkowski, Piotr Pawel; Smith, Robert Løvsletten; Holen, Børge; Shadrin, Alexey; Frei, Oleksandr; Smeland, Olav Bjerkehagen; Steen, Nils Eiel; Dale, Anders M; Molden, Espen; Djurovic, Srdjan; Andreassen, Ole (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Treatment resistant schizophrenia (TRS) is characterized by repeated treatment failure with antipsychotics. A recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) of TRS showed a polygenic architecture, but no significant loci were ...
    • Shared genetic architecture between irritable bowel syndrome and psychiatric disorders reveals molecular pathways of the gut-brain axis 

      Woldeyohannes, Markos Tesfaye; Jaholkowski, Piotr Pawel; Hindley, Guy; Shadrin, Alexey; Rahman, Zillur; Bahrami, Shahram; Lin, Aihua; Holen, Børge; Parker, Nadine; Cheng, Weiqiu; Rødevand, Linn; Frei, Oleksandr; Djurovic, Srdjan; Dale, Anders M.; Smeland, Olav Bjerkehagen; O’Connell, Kevin S.; Andreassen, Ole (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-01)
      Background: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) often co-occurs with psychiatric and gastrointestinal disorders. A recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) identified several genetic risk variants for IBS. However, most of ...
