  • Uncovering the multivariate genetic architecture of frailty with genomic structural equation modeling - Nature genetics (2025) · Foote IF, Flint JP, Fürtjes AE, Lawrence JM, Mullin DS, Fisk JD, Karakach TK, Rutenberg A, Martin NG, Lupton MK, Llewellyn DJ, Ranson JM, Cox SR, Luciano M, Rockwood K, Grotzinger AD · PubMed 40759756

    ABSTRACT: Frailty is a multifaceted clinical state associated with accelerated aging and adverse health outcomes. Informed etiological models of frailty hold promise for producing widespread health improvements across the aging population. Frailty is currently measured using aggregate scores, which obscure etiological pathways that are only relevant to subcomponents of frailty. Here we perform a multivariate genome-wide association study of the latent genetic architecture between 30 frailty deficits, which identifies 408 genomic risk loci. Our model includes a general factor of genetic overlap across all deficits, plus six new factors indexing a shared genetic signal across specific groups of deficits. We demonstrate the added clinical and etiological value of the six factors, including pr

  • Depression pathophysiology, risk prediction of recurrence and comorbid psychiatric disorders using genome-wide analyses. - Nature medicine (2023) · Als TD, Kurki MI, Grove J, Voloudakis G, Therrien K, Tasanko E, Nielsen TT, Naamanka J, Veerapen K, Levey DF, Bendl J, Bybjerg-Grauholm J, Zeng B, Demontis D, Rosengren A, Athanasiadis G, Bækved-Hansen M, Qvist P, Bragi Walters G, Thorgeirsson T, Stefánsson H, Musliner KL, Rajagopal VM, Farajzadeh L, Thirstrup J, Vilhjálmsson BJ, McGrath JJ, Mattheisen M, Meier S, Agerbo E, Stefánsson K, Nordentoft M, Werge T, Hougaard DM, Mortensen PB, Stein MB, Gelernter J, Hovatta I, Roussos P, Daly MJ, Mors O, Palotie A, Børglum AD · PubMed 37464041

    Depression is a common psychiatric disorder and a leading cause of disability worldwide. Here we conducted a genome-wide association study meta-analysis of six datasets, including >1.3 million individuals (371,184 with depression) and identified 243 risk loci. Overall, 64 loci were new, including genes encoding glutamate and GABA receptors, which are targets for antidepressant drugs. Intersection with functional genomics data prioritized likely causal genes and revealed new enrichment of prenatal GABAergic neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocyte lineages. We found depression to be highly polygenic, with ~11,700 variants explaining 90% of the single-nucleotide polymorphism heritability, estimating that >95% of risk variants for other psychiatric disorders (anxiety, schizophrenia, bipolar di

  • Multivariate genome-wide analysis of education, socioeconomic status, and brain phenome - Nature human behaviour (2021) · Wendt FR, Pathak GA, Lencz T, Krystal JH, Gelernter J, Polimanti R · PubMed 33349686

    ABSTRACT: Socioeconomic status (SES) and education (EDU) are phenotypically associated with psychiatric disorders and behaviors. It remains unclear how these associations influence genetic risk for psychopathology, psychosocial factors, and EDU/SES individually. Using information from >1 million individuals, we conditioned the genetic risk for psychiatric disorders, personality traits, brain imaging phenotypes, and externalizing behaviors with genome-wide data for EDU/SES. Accounting for EDU/SES significantly affected the observed heritability of psychiatric traits ranging from 2.44% h2 decrease for bipolar disorder to 14.2% h2 decrease for Tourette syndrome. Neuroticism h2 significantly increased by 20.23% after conditioning with SES. After EDU/SES conditioning, neuronal cell-types were i
