Genome-wide association study identifies novel variants in olfactory, vitamin A, vitamin B, and cadherin pathways associated with learning and memory - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 41413636
ABSTRACT: Learning and memory, as fundamental components of human cognition, are heritable traits that are highly variable between individuals and within populations. Investigation into the genetic basis of cognition is a prominent area of research, with genetic associations being previously reported for a wide range of cognitive phenotypes. Here we utilise a genome-wide association study (GWAS) approach to evaluate the contribution of genetic variation to learning and memory phenotypes in a comprehensively phenotyped, well-characterised, healthy, and unrelated cohort of individuals (n = 613). Cognitive phenotypes were assessed using nine comprehensive test batteries consisting of twenty-one cognitive performance assessments including IQ, five measures for visual and verbal learning, a

Genetic diversity fuels gene discovery for tobacco and alcohol use - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 36477530
ABSTRACT: Tobacco and alcohol use are heritable behaviours associated with 15% and 5.3% of worldwide deaths, respectively, due largely to broad increased risk for disease and injury. These substances are used across the globe, yet genome-wide association studies have focused largely on individuals of European ancestries. Here we leveraged global genetic diversity across 3.4 million individuals from four major clines of global ancestry (approximately 21% non-European) to power the discovery and fine-mapping of genomic loci associated with tobacco and alcohol use, to inform function of these loci via ancestry-aware transcriptome-wide association studies, and to evaluate the genetic architecture and predictive power of polygenic risk within and across populations. We found that increases in s
