Association study of cannabinoid receptor gene (CNR1) alleles and anorexia nervosa: Differences between restricting and bingeing/purging subtypes
TL;DR: It is suggested that restricting AN and bingeing/purging AN may be associated with different alleles of the CNR1 gene, which encodes human CB1 receptor, a subclass of the central cannabinoid receptor.

Sensitivity of ICD-10 diagnosis of psychotic disorders in the Israeli National Hospitalization Registry compared with RDC diagnoses based on SADS-L
Mark Weiser,Kyra Kanyas,Dolores Malaspina,Philip D. Harvey,Ittai Glick,Deborah Goetz,Osnat Karni,Avi Yakir,Neil Turetsky,Shmuel Fennig,Daniella Nahon,Bernard Lerer,Michael H. Davidson,Michael H. Davidson +13 more
TL;DR: In 87% to 89% of cases with psychotic disorders or with schizophrenia, Registry diagnoses agreed with RDC diagnoses, a rate of agreement comparable with those of other, similar registries.

Why do young women smoke? III. Attention and impulsivity as neurocognitive predisposing factors.
Avi Yakir,Amihai Rigbi,Kyra Kanyas,Yehudah Pollak,Gazit Kahana,Osnat Karni,Renana Eitan,Semion Kertzman,Bernard Lerer +8 more
TL;DR: A neurocognitive profile characterized by impairments in sustained attention and control of impulsivity may be one of the factors that predispose young women who initiate cigarette smoking to maintain the habit.

AHI1 , a pivotal neurodevelopmental gene, and C6orf217 are associated with susceptibility to schizophrenia
Daniela Amann-Zalcenstein,Nili Avidan,Kyra Kanyas,Richard P. Ebstein,Yoav Kohn,Adnan Hamdan,Edna Ben-Asher,Osnat Karni,Muhammed Mujaheed,Ronnen H. Segman,Wolfgang Maier,Fabio Macciardi,Jacques S. Beckmann,Jacques S. Beckmann,Doron Lancet,Bernard Lerer +15 more
TL;DR: Both, AHI1 and C6orf217 appear to be highly relevant candidate genes for schizophrenia, and the implicated genomic region harbors the Abelson Helper Integration Site 1 (AHI1) gene, which showed the strongest association signal.
Angiotensin converting enzyme gene insertion/deletion polymorphism: case-control association studies in schizophrenia, major affective disorder, and tardive dyskinesia and a family-based association study in schizophrenia.
Ronnen H. Segman,Yami Shapira,Ilan Modai,Adnan Hamdan,Joseph Zislin,Uriel Heresco-Levy,Kyra Kanyas,Shmuel Hirschmann,Osnat Karni,Boris Finkel,Michael Schlafman,Arturo G. Lerner,Baruch Shapira,Fabio Macciardi,Bernard Lerer +14 more
TL;DR: Findings do not support an association of the ACE I/D polymorphism with the phenotypes examined and in a sample of nuclear families made up of one or more patients with schizophrenia recruited with their parents, there was no evidence for biased transmission.
