| Title | Analysis of flavin-containing monooxygenase 3 genotype data in populations administered the anti-schizophrenia agent olanzapine. |
| Abstract | Flavin-containing monooxygenase 3 (FMO3) genotype data for European-, Latin-, African- and Asian-American schizophrenia patients administered olanzapine were compared to age-, gender-, and race/ethnicity-matched controls. Single nucleotide polymorphisms and haplotypes associated with case-control status was undertaken to determine the potential role of FMO3 in olanzapine therapeutic response. The relationship between side effects and FMO3 genotype and allele frequencies was also studied. For European Americans, significant differences in individual cases versus controls were observed between FMO3 158 and 257 alleles and genotype frequencies and schizophrenia delusions, hallucinations, and weight gain/increased appetite but this was not observed in a replicated population. For Latin Americans, a significant difference in individual cases versus controls was observed for FMO3 158 and 257 for schizophrenia delusions as well as hallucinations and delusions. Sleepiness and weight gain was associated with allele 308. In African Americans, a comparison of allele frequency and diagnosis showed a significant dependence on allele 158 in individual cases versus controls. FMO3 genotype and allele frequency was not significantly associated with auditory hallucinations or delusions. For Asian Americans, no significant difference in allele or genotype frequency and auditory hallucination and delusions was observed in individual cases versus controls. In female Asian American, allele frequency for FMO3 257 was significantly associated with diagnosis and in males, genotype frequency for FMO3 257 and diagnosis was significantly associated. |

| Title | Genome-wide association identifies genetic variants associated with lentiform nucleus volume in N?=?1345 young and elderly subjects. |
| Abstract | Deficits in lentiform nucleus volume and morphometry are implicated in a number of genetically influenced disorders, including Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, and ADHD. Here we performed genome-wide searches to discover common genetic variants associated with differences in lentiform nucleus volume in human populations. We assessed structural MRI scans of the brain in two large genotyped samples: the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI; N?=?706) and the Queensland Twin Imaging Study (QTIM; N?=?639). Statistics of association from each cohort were combined meta-analytically using a fixed-effects model to boost power and to reduce the prevalence of false positive findings. We identified a number of associations in and around the flavin-containing monooxygenase (FMO) gene cluster. The most highly associated SNP, rs1795240, was located in the FMO3 gene; after meta-analysis, it showed genome-wide significant evidence of association with lentiform nucleus volume (P MA ?=?4.79?×?10(-8)). This commonly-carried genetic variant accounted for 2.68 % and 0.84 % of the trait variability in the ADNI and QTIM samples, respectively, even though the QTIM sample was on average 50 years younger. Pathway enrichment analysis revealed significant contributions of this gene to the cytochrome P450 pathway, which is involved in metabolizing numerous therapeutic drugs for pain, seizures, mania, depression, anxiety, and psychosis. The genetic variants we identified provide replicated, genome-wide significant evidence for the FMO gene cluster's involvement in lentiform nucleus volume differences in human populations. |
