  • Multivariate genetic analysis of personality and cognitive traits reveals abundant pleiotropy. - Nature human behaviour (2023) · Hindley G, Shadrin AA, van der Meer D, Parker N, Cheng W, O'Connell KS, Bahrami S, Lin A, Karadag N, Holen B, Bjella T, Deary IJ, Davies G, Hill WD, Bressler J, Seshadri S, Fan CC, Ueland T, Djurovic S, Smeland OB, Frei O, Dale AM, Andreassen OA · PubMed 37365406

    Personality and cognitive function are heritable mental traits whose genetic foundations may be distributed across interconnected brain functions. Previous studies have typically treated these complex mental traits as distinct constructs. We applied the 'pleiotropy-informed' multivariate omnibus statistical test to genome-wide association studies of 35 measures of neuroticism and cognitive function from the UK Biobank (n = 336,993). We identified 431 significantly associated genetic loci with evidence of abundant shared genetic associations, across personality and cognitive function domains. Functional characterization implicated genes with significant tissue-specific expression in all tested brain tissues and brain-specific gene sets. We conditioned independent genome-wide association

  • Large-scale GWAS reveals genetic architecture of brain white matter microstructure and genetic overlap with cognitive and mental health traits (n=17,706) - Molecular psychiatry (2022) · Zhao B, Zhang J, Ibrahim JG, Luo T, Santelli RC, Li Y, Li T, Shan Y, Zhu Z, Zhou F, Liao H, Nichols TE, Zhu H · PubMed 31666681

    ABSTRACT: Individual variations of white matter (WM) tracts are known to be associated with various cognitive and neuropsychiatric traits. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data from 17,706 UK Biobank participants offer the opportunity to identify novel genetic variants of WM tracts and explore the genetic overlap with other brain-related complex traits. We analyzed the genetic architecture of 110 tract-based DTI parameters, carried out genome-wide association studies (GWAS), and performed post-GWAS analyses, including association lookups, gene-based association analysis, functional gene mapping, and genetic correlation estimation. We found that DTI parameters are substantially heritable for all WM tracts (mean heritability 48.7%). We obser
