Deletion of Loss-of-Function-Intolerant Genes and Risk of 5 Psychiatric Disorders

JAMA Psychiatry. 2022 Jan 1;79(1):78-81. doi: 10.1001/jamapsychiatry.2021.3211.

Abstract

This study examines 2 gene-level metrics of variation constraint against protein-truncating variants—probability of loss-of-function intolerance and loss-of-function observed/expected upper bound fraction—and their association with the psychiatric consequences of both recurrent and nonrecurrent gene deletions.
