[7] The experiment found an association between advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which is the main culprit of late onset blindness, and genetic variants in LIPC of the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) pathway.
The article included the operationalization of variables, advice on sample size, discussion of alleles and their frequencies, and information on noncoding and regions of the genome.
[8] That same year, he contributed on a paper examining the gene variant that allows for the experience of euphoria when taking d-amphetamine and connecting it to decreased risk for developing schizophrenia and ADHD.
This work opens new possibilities to use the alleles that demonstrated changes in expression in order to analyze risk for developing neurological disorders that involve dopamine.
[10] The purpose of the study was to analyze IQ scores, assessments of behavior and language, spontaneous loss of function mutations, and familial history of mental illness.
This study suggests family history of mental illness could play a more influential role than previously thought in the phenotypic and genetic manifestations of autism.
