You will grow because of this
The words I recall most clearly from the numbing meeting at which my husband and I learned the results of long months of testing of our toddler son are, \"You will grow because of this.\" The doctor who said we would grow had moments before informed us that David, our picture-perfect, difficult boy with the mischievous gleam in his eyes was not just a late bloomer. He was mentally retarded.

Punctuation takes a vacation
The story goes that the punctuation marks in Mr. Wright's room feel neglected so they run off to have a holiday. Consequently, the class can't read books or write coherently. The punctuation marks send postcards telling about the wonderful time they're having. The class sends a letter back but they have used the unruly punctuation marks from Mr. Rongo's room next door. It is a mess.

A contribution of novel CNVs to schizophrenia from a genome-wide study of 41,321 subjects
Genomic copy number variants (CNVs) have been strongly implicated in the etiology of schizophrenia (SCZ). However, apart from a small number of risk variants, elucidation of the CNV contribution to risk has been difficult due to the rarity of risk alleles, all occurring in less than 1% of cases. We sought to address this obstacle through a collaborative effort in which we applied a centralized analysis pipeline to a SCZ cohort of 21,094 cases and 20,227 controls. We observed a global enrichment of CNV burden in cases (OR=1.11, P=5.7e-15), which persisted after excluding loci implicated in previous studies (OR=1.07, P=1.7e-6). CNV burden is also enriched for genes associated with synaptic function (OR = 1.68, P = 2.8e-11) and neurobehavioral phenotypes in mouse (OR = 1.18, P= 7.3e-5). We identified genome-wide significant support for eight loci, including 1q21.1, 2p16.3 (NRXN1), 3q29, 7q11.2, 15q13.3, distal 16p11.2, proximal 16p11.2 and 22q11.2. We find support at a suggestive level for nine additional candidate susceptibility and protective loci, which consist predominantly of CNVs mediated by non-allelic homologous recombination (NAHR).
