• 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 analysis of insomnia in 1,331,010 individuals identifies new risk loci and functional pathways. - Nature genetics (2019) · Jansen PR, Watanabe K, Stringer S, Skene N, Bryois J, Hammerschlag AR, de Leeuw CA, Benjamins JS, Muñoz-Manchado AB, Nagel M, Savage JE, Tiemeier H, White T, Tung JY, Hinds DA, Vacic V, Wang X, Sullivan PF, van der Sluis S, Polderman TJC, Smit AB, Hjerling-Leffler J, Van Someren EJW, Posthuma D · PubMed 30804565

  Insomnia is the second most prevalent mental disorder, with no sufficient treatment available. Despite substantial heritability, insight into the associated genes and neurobiological pathways remains limited. Here, we use a large genetic association sample (n = 1,331,010) to detect novel loci and gain insight into the pathways, tissue and cell types involved in insomnia complaints. We identify 202 loci implicating 956 genes through positional, expression quantitative trait loci, and chromatin mapping. The meta-analysis explained 2.6% of the variance. We show gene set enrichments for the axonal part of neurons, cortical and subcortical tissues, and specific cell types, including striatal, hypothalamic, and claustrum neurons. We found considerable genetic correlations with psychiatric tr

• Diversity and scale: Genetic architecture of 2068 traits in the VA Million Veteran Program - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 39024449

  ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION: Findings from genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have provided foundational knowledge of the genetic basis of disease, facilitating precision approaches for prevention and treatment. Current GWAS results are limited by underrepresentation of individuals from diverse populations, leading to concerns with generalizability regarding our knowledge of the relationships between genes, traits, and disease. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Million Veteran Program (MVP), one of the largest US-based biobanks, addresses this need; 29% of MVP comprises individuals genetically similar to African (AFR), Admixed American (AMR), and East Asian (EAS) reference populations. With over 635,000 participants and more than 44.3M genotyped variants linked with detailed phenotyp

• Elucidating the genetic basis of social interaction and isolation - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 29970889

  ABSTRACT: The negative impacts of social isolation and loneliness on health are well documented. However, little is known about their possible biological determinants. In up to 452,302 UK Biobank study participants, we perform genome-wide association study analyses for loneliness and regular participation in social activities. We identify 15 genomic loci (P < 5 × 10−8) for loneliness, and demonstrate a likely causal association between adiposity and increased susceptibility to loneliness and depressive symptoms. Further loci were identified for regular attendance at a sports club or gym (N = 6 loci), pub or social club (N = 13) or religious group (N = 18). Across these traits there was strong enrichment for genes expressed in brain regions that control emotional exp

• Genome-wide association meta-analysis in 269,867 individuals identifies new genetic and functional links to intelligence - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 29942086

  [INTRO] Intelligence is highly heritable and a major determinant of human health and well-being. Recent genome-wide meta-analyses have identified 24 genomic loci linked to variation in intelligence, but much about its genetic underpinnings remains to be discovered. Here, we present the largest genetic association study of intelligence to date (N=269,867), identifying 205 associated genomic loci (190 novel) and 1,016 genes (939 novel) via positional mapping, expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) mapping, chromatin interaction mapping, and gene-based association analysis. We find enrichment of genetic effects in conserved and coding regions and associations with 146 nonsynonymous exonic variants. Associated genes are strongly expressed in the brain, specifically in striatal medium spiny

• Whole-Genome Sequencing Coupled to Imputation Discovers Genetic Signals for Anthropometric Traits - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 28552196

  ABSTRACT: Deep sequence-based imputation can enhance the discovery power of genome-wide association studies by assessing previously unexplored variation across the common- and low-frequency spectra. We applied a hybrid whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and deep imputation approach to examine the broader allelic architecture of 12 anthropometric traits associated with height, body mass, and fat distribution in up to 267,616 individuals. We report 106 genome-wide significant signals that have not been previously identified, including 9 low-frequency variants pointing to functional candidates. Of the 106 signals, 6 are in genomic regions that have not been implicated with related traits before, 28 are independent signals at previously reported regions, and 72 represent previously reported signals
