  • Common polygenic variation contributes to risk of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder
  • 2009

    • Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder with a lifetime risk of about 1%, characterized by hallucinations, delusions and cognitive deficits, with heritability estimated at up to 80%(1,2). We performed a genome-wide association study of 3,322 European individuals with schizophrenia and 3,587 controls. Here we show, using two analytic approaches, the extent to which common genetic variation underlies the risk of schizophrenia. First, we implicate the major histocompatibility complex. Second, we provide molecular genetic evidence for a substantial polygenic component to the risk of schizophrenia involving thousands of common alleles of very small effect. We show that this component also contributes to the risk of bipolar disorder, but not to several non-psychiatric diseases.

  • Differences in boar sperm head shape and dimensions recorded by computer-assisted sperm morphometry are not related to chromatin integrity
  • 2007

  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Although sperm head shape and relative dimensions are considered reliable indicators of sperm quality, their quantification is most often operator-driven, e.g., subjective. Artificial insemination semen doses from 35 mature stud boars of known fertility and belonging to three breeds and two hybrid breeds (Duroc, Large White, Landrace, respectively, Yorker and Risco) were used in this study. Sperm samples were extended to 100 x 10(6) Cells per mL and 10 mu L of the sperm suspension used to made smears which, stained, were examined using phase contrast microscopy interfaced with an automated sperm morphology analyzer (ASMA, 2 ISAS (R)). Each sperm head was measured for four primary parameters [area (A) mu m(2), perimeter (P) mu m, length (L) mu m, width (M mu m], and four derived parameters of head shape [(L/W, (4 pi A/P-2), ((L - W/(L + M), (pi LW/4A)]. Definition of head size was statistically performed. The threshold for each class was established on the basis of the area values, considering the 25th percentile as small and the 75th percentile as large spermatozoa. In a second step, sperm head shape was determined as normal, elliptic, abnormal (rugose) contour, long or irregular and percentiles set as above to define spermatozoa with normal values for each shape parameter. Significant differences were found among breeds in the size of morphologically normal spermatozoa, which were significantly larger and more elliptic (P less than 0.001) in the Duroc breed. Sperm chromatin integrity was studied using the SCSA-assay, with significant differences observed in the degree of fragmentation intensity (DFI) although this value was consistently low in all animals studied. The hereby-validated ASMA was able to determine significant differences in sperm shape and dimensions among breeds, which were not accompanied by deviations in chromatin structure neither within nor between fertile AI-boars.
