Liebenberg, Rudolf; Van Heerden, Brigitte; Ehlers, Rene; Du Plessis, Ilse; Roos, J.L. (Johannes Louw) (Elsevier, 2016-09)Consistent associations have been found between advanced paternal age and an increased risk of psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia in their offspring. This increase appears to be linear as paternal age increases. ...

Bekker, Andriette, 1958-; Roux, Jacobus J.J.; Ehlers, Rene; Arashi, Mohammad (Routledge, 2011-11)In this article, the bimatrix variate beta Type IV distribution is derived from independent Wishart distributed matrix variables. We explore specific properties of this distribution which is then used to derive the exact ...

Steyn, Francois; Booyens, Karen; Foster, Herma; Ehlers, Rene (CRIMSA, 2012)In addition to the provision of tertiary education, Institutions of Higher Education are expected to instil critical and independent thinking skills in students. Students often bring into the learning environment their own ...

Bekker, Andriette, 1958-; Roux, Jacobus J.J.; Ehlers, Rene; Arashi, Mohammad (Elsevier, 2012-03)The product moments of existing and new noncentral bimatrix variate beta distributions with bounded domain are derived. From these, exact expressions for the distributions of statistics are obtained by using the Mellin ...

Van der Merwe, Nicolaas J.; Karayiorgou, Maria; Ehlers, Rene; Roos, J.L. (Johannes Louw) (AOSIS Open Journals, 2020-04)BACKGROUND : Schizophrenia is a heterogeneous disorder with strong genetic vulnerability. Family history of schizophrenia has been considered in genetic studies under several models. De novo genetic events seem to play a ...

Malherbe, P.J.; Karayiorgou, M.; Ehlers, Rene; Roos, J.L. (Johannes Louw) (Elsevier, 2017-05)We link schizophrenia in families from the genetically isolated South African Afrikaner population to chromosome 13q (n =51), 1p (n =23) and combined 13q & 1p (n =18). Patients with linkages to chromosome 13q were 4.16 ...

Phenotypic features of patients with schizophrenia carrying de novo gene mutations : a pilot study Malherbe, P.J.; Roos, J.L. Jr.; Ehlers, Rene; Karayiorgou, Maria; Roos, J.L. (Johannes Louw) (Elsevier, 2015-01)Genome-wide scans have revealed a significant role for de novo copy number variants (CNVs) and Single Nucleotide variants (SNVs) in the genetic architecture of schizophrenia. The present study attempts to parse schizophrenia ...
