  • 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

  • Genetic overlap analysis of endometriosis and asthma identifies shared loci implicating sex hormones and thyroid signalling pathways. - Human reproduction (Oxford, England) (2022) · Adewuyi EO, Mehta D, Nyholt DR · PubMed 35472084

    Is there a shared genetic or causal association of endometriosis with asthma or what biological mechanisms may underlie their potential relationships? Our results confirm a significant but non-causal association of endometriosis with asthma implicating shared genetic susceptibility and biological pathways in the mechanisms of the disorders, and potentially, their co-occurrence. Some observational studies have reported a pattern of co-occurring relationship between endometriosis and asthma; however, there is conflicting evidence and the aetiology, as well as the underlying mechanisms of the relationship, remain unclear. We applied multiple statistical genetic approaches in the analysis of well-powered, genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary data to comprehensively assess the relations

  • 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

    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 observed a high

  • Twenty-Five Novel Loci for Carotid Intima-Media Thickness: A Genome-Wide Association Study in >45 000 Individuals and Meta-Analysis of >100 000 Individuals. - Arteriosclerosis, thrombosis, and vascular biology (2022) · Yeung MW, Wang S, van de Vegte YJ, Borisov O, van Setten J, Snieder H, Verweij N, Said MA, van der Harst P · PubMed 34852643

    Carotid artery intima-media thickness (cIMT) is a widely accepted marker of subclinical atherosclerosis. Twenty susceptibility loci for cIMT were previously identified and the identification of additional susceptibility loci furthers our knowledge on the genetic architecture underlying atherosclerosis. We performed 3 genome-wide association studies in 45 185 participants from the UK Biobank study who underwent cIMT measurements and had data on minimum, mean, and maximum thickness. We replicated 15 known loci and identified 20 novel loci associated with cIMT at <5×10 . Seven novel loci ( , AD , , , , , and ) were identified in all 3 phenotypes. An additional new locus ( ) was identified in the meta-analysis of the 3 phenotypes. Sex interaction analysis revealed sex differences in 7 loci

  • Association analysis in over 329,000 individuals identifies 116 independent variants influencing neuroticism. - Nature genetics (2019) · Luciano M, Hagenaars SP, Davies G, Hill WD, Clarke TK, Shirali M, Harris SE, Marioni RE, Liewald DC, Fawns-Ritchie C, Adams MJ, Howard DM, Lewis CM, Gale CR, McIntosh AM, Deary IJ · PubMed 29255261

    Neuroticism is a relatively stable personality trait characterized by negative emotionality (for example, worry and guilt) ; heritability estimated from twin studies ranges from 30 to 50% , and SNP-based heritability ranges from 6 to 15% . Increased neuroticism is associated with poorer mental and physical health , translating to high economic burden . Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of neuroticism have identified up to 11 associated genetic loci . Here we report 116 significant independent loci from a GWAS of neuroticism in 329,821 UK Biobank participants; 15 of these loci replicated at P < 0.00045 in an unrelated cohort (N = 122,867). Genetic signals were enriched in neuronal genesis and differentiation pathways, and substantial genetic correlations were found between neur
