    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

  • Mapping genomic loci implicates genes and synaptic biology in schizophrenia - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 35396580

    ABSTRACT: SUMMARY Schizophrenia has a heritability of 60-80%, much of which is attributable to common risk alleles. Here, in a 2-stage genome-wide association study of up to 76,755 people with schizophrenia and 243,649 controls, we report common variant associations at 287 distinct genomic loci. Associations were concentrated in genes expressed in CNS neurons, excitatory and inhibitory, but not other tissues or cell types. Using fine-mapping and functional genomic data, we identify 120 genes (106 protein-coding) as likely to underpin associations at some of these loci, including 16 genes with credible causal non-synonymous or UTR variation. We also implicate fundamental processes related to neuronal function, including synaptic organisation, differentiation, and transmission. Fine-mapped
