  • The Genetic Architecture of the Human Corpus Callosum and its Subregions - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 41188267

    ABSTRACT: The corpus callosum (CC) is the largest set of white matter fibers connecting the two hemispheres of the brain. In humans, it is essential for coordinating sensorimotor responses and performing associative or executive functions. Identifying which genetic variants underpin CC morphometry can provide molecular insights into the CC's role in mediating cognitive processes. We developed and used an artificial intelligence based tool to extract the midsagittal CC's total and regional area and thickness in two large public datasets. We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis of European participants (combined N = 46,685) with generalization to the non-European participants (combined N = 7040). Post-GWAS analyses implicated prenatal intracellular organ

  • Genetic architecture of the structural connectome - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 38438384

    ABSTRACT: Myelinated axons form long-range connections that enable rapid communication between distant brain regions, but how genetics governs the strength and organization of these connections remains unclear. We perform genome-wide association studies of 206 structural connectivity measures derived from diffusion magnetic resonance imaging tractography of 26,333 UK Biobank participants, each representing the density of myelinated connections within or between a pair of cortical networks, subcortical structures or cortical hemispheres. We identify 30 independent genome-wide significant variants after Bonferroni correction for the number of measures studied (126 variants at nominal genome-wide significance) implicating genes involved in myelination (SEMA3A), neurite elongation and guidance
