  ABSTRACT: Volumetric variations of human brain are heritable and are associated with many brain-related complex traits. Here we performed genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of 101 brain volumetric phenotypes using the UK Biobank (UKB) sample including 19,629 participants. GWAS identified 365 independent genetic variants exceeding significance threshold of 4.9 × 10−10, adjusted for testing multiple phenotypes. Gene-based association study found 157 associated genes (124 new), and functional gene mapping analysis linked 146 additional genes. Many of the discovered genetic variants and genes have previously been implicated in cognitive and mental health traits. Using genome-wide polygenic risk score prediction, more than 6% of phenotypic variance (P = 3.13 × 10−24) in four other ind
