  • Combining cross-sectional and longitudinal genomic approaches to identify determinants of cognitive and physical decline - Nature communications (2025) · Schoeler T, Pingault JB, Kutalik Z · PubMed 40374629

    ABSTRACT: Large-scale genomic studies focusing on the genetic contribution to human aging have mostly relied on cross-sectional data. With the release of longitudinally curated aging phenotypes by the UK Biobank (UKBB), it is now possible to study aging over time at genome-wide scale. In this work, we evaluated the suitability of competing models of change in realistic simulation settings, performed genome-wide association scans on simulation-validated measures of age-related deweekcline, and followed up with LD-score regression and Mendelian Randomization (MR) analyses. Focusing on global cognitive and physical function, we observed marked differences between baseline function (θ) and accelerated decline (Δ). Both outcomes showed distinct heritability levels (e.g., 31.38% versus 3.15%

  • Cognitive processing speed and accuracy are intrinsically different in genetic architecture and brain phenotypes - Nature communications (2024) · Li M, Dang X, Chen Y, Chen Z, Xu X, Zhao Z, Wu D · 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

  • 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

  • Genome-wide meta-analysis of insomnia prioritizes genes associated with metabolic and psychiatric pathways. - Nature genetics (2022) · Watanabe K, Jansen PR, Savage JE, Nandakumar P, Wang X, Hinds DA, Gelernter J, Levey DF, Polimanti R, Stein MB, Van Someren EJW, Smit AB, Posthuma D · PubMed 35835914

    Insomnia is a heritable, highly prevalent sleep disorder for which no sufficient treatment currently exists. Previous genome-wide association studies with up to 1.3 million subjects identified over 200 associated loci. This extreme polygenicity suggested that many more loci remain to be discovered. The current study almost doubled the sample size to 593,724 cases and 1,771,286 controls, thereby increasing statistical power, and identified 554 risk loci (including 364 novel loci). To capitalize on this large number of loci, we propose a novel strategy to prioritize genes using external biological resources and functional interactions between genes across risk loci. Of all 3,898 genes naively implicated from the risk loci, we prioritize 289 and find brain-tissue expression spec

    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
