  • Genetic variants associated with longitudinal changes in brain structure across the lifespan - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 35383335

    ABSTRACT: Human brain structure changes throughout our lives. Altered brain growth or rates of decline are implicated in a vast range of psychiatric, developmental, and neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we identified common genetic variants that affect rates of brain growth or atrophy, in the first genome-wide association meta-analysis of changes in brain morphology across the lifespan. Longitudinal MRI data from 15,640 individuals were used to compute rates of change for 15 brain structures. The most robustly identified genes GPR139, DACH1 and APOE are associated with metabolic processes. We demonstrate global genetic overlap with depression, schizophrenia, cognitive functioning, insomnia, height, body mass index and smoking. Gene-set findings implicate both early brain development and ne

  • Genome-wide interaction analysis of pathological hallmarks in Alzheimer's disease - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 32450446

    ABSTRACT: Genome-wide association studies have identified many loci associated with Alzheimer's dementia. However, these variants only explain part of the heritability of Alzheimer's disease (AD). As genetic epistasis can be a major contributor to the "missing heritability" of AD, we conducted genome-wide epistasis screening for AD pathologies in two independent cohorts. First, we performed a genome-wide epistasis study of AD-related brain pathologies (Nmax = 1,318) in ROS/MAP. Candidate interactions were validated using cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers of AD in ADNI (Nmax = 1,128). Further functional analysis tested the association of candidate interactions with neuroimaging phenotypes. For tau and amyloid-β (Aβ) pathology, we identified 2,803 and 464 candidate SNP-SNP interaction
