  • Cross-ancestry and sex-stratified genome-wide association analyses of amygdala and subnucleus volumes. - Nature genetics (2025) · Ji Y, Liu N, Yang Y, Wang M, Cheng J, Zhu W, Qiu S, Geng Z, Cui G, Yu Y, Liao W, Zhang H, Gao B, Xu X, Han T, Yao Z, Zhang Q, Qin W, Liu F, Liang M, Wang S, Xu Q, Xu J, Fu J, Zhang P, Li W, Shi D, Wang C, Lui S, Yan Z, Chen F, Zhang J, Shen W, Miao Y, Wang D, Gao JH, Zhang X, Xu K, Zuo XN, Zhang L, Ye Z, Li MJ, Xian J, Zhang B, Yu C · PubMed 40097784

    The amygdala is a small but critical multi-nucleus structure for emotion, cognition and neuropsychiatric disorders. Although genetic associations with amygdala volumetric traits have been investigated in sex-combined European populations, cross-ancestry and sex-stratified analyses are lacking. Here we conducted cross-ancestry and sex-stratified genome-wide association analyses for 21 amygdala volumetric traits in 6,923 Chinese and 48,634 European individuals. We identified 191 variant-trait associations (P < 2.38 × 10 ), including 47 new associations (12 new loci) in sex-combined univariate analyses and seven additional new loci in sex-combined and sex-stratified multivariate analyses. We identified 12 ancestry-specific and two sex-specific associations. The identified genetic var

  • MRI-derived brain iron, grey matter volume, and risk of dementia and Parkinson's disease: Observational and genetic analysis in the UK Biobank cohort - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 38789058

    ABSTRACT: Background: Iron overload is observed in neurodegenerative diseases, especially Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD). Homozygotes for the iron-overload (haemochromatosis) causing HFE p.C282Y variant have increased risk of dementia and PD. Whether brain iron deposition is causal or secondary to the neurodegenerative processes in the general population is unclear. Methods: We analysed 39,533 UK Biobank participants of European genetic ancestry with brain MRI data. We studied brain iron estimated by R2* and quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) in 8 subcortical regions: accumbens, amygdala, caudate, hippocampus, pallidum, putamen, substantia nigra, and thalamus. We performed genome-wide associations studies (GWAS) and used Mendelian Randomization (MR) method

  • The Genetic Architecture of Amygdala Nuclei - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 37391117

    ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Whereas genetic variants influencing total amygdala volume have been identified, the genetic architecture of its distinct nuclei has yet to be explored. We aimed to investigate whether increased phenotypic specificity through nuclei segmentation aids genetic discoverability and elucidates the extent of shared genetic architecture and biological pathways with related disorders. METHODS: T1-weighted brain magnetic resonance imaging scans (N = 36,352, 52% female) from the UK Biobank were segmented into 9 amygdala nuclei with FreeSurfer (version 6.1). Genome-wide association analyses were performed on the entire sample, a European-only subset (n = 31,690), and a generalization (transancestry) subset (n = 4662). We estimated single nucleotide polymorphism-based heritabil
