• A genome-wide association study identifies two novel susceptibility loci and trans population polygenicity associated with bipolar disorder - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 28115744

  ABSTRACT: Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified several susceptibility loci for bipolar disorder (BD) and shown that the genetic architecture of BD can be explained by polygenicity, with numerous variants contributing to BD. In the present GWAS (Phase I/II), which included 2964 BD and 61 887 control subjects from the Japanese population, we detected a novel susceptibility locus at 11q12.2 (rs28456, P=6.4 × 10−9), a region known to contain regulatory genes for plasma lipid levels (FADS1/2/3). A subsequent meta-analysis of Phase I/II and the Psychiatric GWAS Consortium for BD (PGC-BD) identified another novel BD gene, NFIX (Pbest=5.8 × 10−10), and supported three regions previously implicated in BD susceptibility: MAD1L1 (Pbest=1.9 × 10−9), TRANK1 (Pbest=2.1 × 1

• Study of 300,486 individuals identifies 148 independent genetic loci influencing general cognitive function - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 29844566

  ABSTRACT: General cognitive function is a prominent and relatively stable human trait that is associated with many important life outcomes. We combine cognitive and genetic data from the CHARGE and COGENT consortia, and UK Biobank (total N = 300,486; age 16-102) and find 148 genome-wide significant independent loci (P < 5 × 10−8) associated with general cognitive function. Within the novel genetic loci are variants associated with neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental disorders, physical and psychiatric illnesses, and brain structure. Gene-based analyses find 709 genes associated with general cognitive function. Expression levels across the cortex are associated with general cognitive function. Using polygenic scores, up to 4.3% of variance in general cognitive function

• Gene discovery and polygenic prediction from a 1.1-million-person GWAS of educational attainment - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 30038396

  ABSTRACT: We conduct a large-scale genetic association analysis of educational attainment in a sample of ~1.1 million individuals and identify 1,271 independent genome-wide-significant SNPs. For the SNPs taken together, we found evidence of heterogeneous effects across environments. The SNPs implicate genes involved in brain-development processes and neuron-to-neuron communication. In a separate analysis of the X chromosome, we identify 10 independent genome-wide-significant SNPs and estimate a SNP heritability of ~0.3% in both men and women, consistent with partial dosage compensation. A joint (multi-phenotype) analysis of educational attainment and three related cognitive phenotypes generates polygenic scores that explain 11-13% of the variance in educational attainment and 7-10% of

• Genome-Wide Association Study Shows that Executive Functioning Is Influenced by GABAergic Processes and Is a Neurocognitive Genetic Correlate of Psychiatric Disorders - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 36150907

  ABSTRACT: Background: Deficits in executive functions (EFs), cognitive processes that control goal-directed behaviors, are associated with psychopathology and neurological disorders. Little is known about the molecular bases of EF individual differences. Prior candidate gene studies have been underpowered in their search for dopaminergic processes involved in cognitive functioning, and existing EF genome-wide association studies (GWASs) used small sample sizes and/or focused on individual tasks that are imprecise measures of EF. Methods: We conducted a GWAS of a Common EF (cEF) factor score based on multiple tasks in the UK Biobank (N=427,037 European-descent individuals). Results: We found 129 independent genome-wide significant lead variants in 112 distinct loci and that cEF was associat

• Cognitive processing speed and accuracy are intrinsically different in genetic architecture and brain phenotypes - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 39242605

  ABSTRACT: Since the birth of cognitive science, researchers have used reaction time and accuracy to measure cognitive ability. Although recognition of these two measures is often based on empirical observations, the underlying consensus is that most cognitive behaviors may be along two fundamental dimensions: cognitive processing speed (CPS) and cognitive processing accuracy (CPA). In this study, we used genomic-wide association studies (GWAS) data from 14 cognitive traits to show the presence of those two factors and revealed the specific neurobiological basis underlying them. We identified that CPS and CPA had distinct brain phenotypes (e.g. white matter microstructure), neurobiological bases (e.g. postsynaptic membrane), and developmental periods (i.e. late infancy). Moreover, those two

• A combined analysis of genetically correlated traits identifies 187 loci and a role for neurogenesis and myelination in intelligence - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 29326435

  ABSTRACT: Intelligence, or general cognitive function, is phenotypically and genetically correlated with many traits, including a wide range of physical, and mental health variables. Education is strongly genetically correlated with intelligence (rg = 0.70). We used these findings as foundations for our use of a novel approach-multi-trait analysis of genome-wide association studies (MTAG; Turley et al. 2017)-to combine two large genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of education and intelligence, increasing statistical power and resulting in the largest GWAS of intelligence yet reported. Our study had four goals: first, to facilitate the discovery of new genetic loci associated with intelligence; second, to add to our understanding of the biology of intelligence differences; thir
