This paper presents CalPen, a web-based tool for calculating penetrance (disease likelihood given a mutation) in complex genetic disorders. The authors validated CalPen against published penetrance calculations for schizophrenia-associated copy number variants (CNVs) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). They analyzed 15 CNVs in 39,059 schizophrenia patients and 55,084 controls (average penetrance 7%, ranging from ~1.4% for 15q11.2 deletions to ~20% for 22q11.21 CNVs) and 145 SNPs in 45,405 patients and 122,761 controls (average penetrance 0.7%, with rs1801028 showing the highest at 1.6%).

About GRM3

L-glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system and activates both ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate receptors. Glutamatergic neurotransmission is involved in most aspects of normal brain function and can be perturbed in many neuropathologic conditions. The metabotropic glutamate receptors are a family of G protein-coupled receptors, that have been divided into 3 groups on the basis of sequence homology, putative signal transduction mechanisms, and pharmacologic properties. Group I includes GRM1 and GRM5 and these receptors have been shown to activate phospholipase C. Group II includes GRM2 and GRM3 while Group III includes GRM4, GRM6, GRM7 and GRM8. Group II and III receptors are linked to the inhibition of the cyclic AMP cascade but differ in their agonist selectivities. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
