  • An expanded set of genome-wide association studies of brain imaging phenotypes in UK Biobank - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 33875891

    ABSTRACT: UK Biobank is a major prospective epidemiological study, including multimodal brain imaging, genetics and ongoing health outcomes. Previously, we published genome-wide associations of 3,144 brain imaging-derived phenotypes, with a discovery sample of 8,428 subjects. Here we present a new open resource of GWAS summary statistics, using the 2020 data release, almost tripling the discovery sample size. We now include the X chromosome, and new classes of image derived phenotypes (subcortical volumes and tissue contrast). Previously we had found 148 replicated clusters of associations between genetic variants and imaging phenotypes; here we find 692, including 12 on the X chromosome. We describe some of the newly found associations, focussing on the X chromosome and autosomal associat

  • The genetic architecture of human cortical folding - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34910505

    ABSTRACT: The first genome-wide study of sulcal depth shows that it is highly genetically discoverable, associated with neurodevelopment. The folding of the human cerebral cortex is a highly genetically regulated process that allows for a much larger surface area to fit into the cranial vault and optimizes functional organization. Sulcal depth is a robust yet understudied measure of localized folding, previously associated with multiple neurodevelopmental disorders. Here, we report the first genome-wide association study of sulcal depth. Through the multivariate omnibus statistical test (MOSTest) applied to vertex-wise measures from 33,748 U.K. Biobank participants (mean age, 64.3 years; 52.0% female), we identified 856 genome-wide significant loci (P < 5 × 10−8). Comparisons with corti

  • Vertex-wise multivariate genome-wide association study identifies 780 unique genetic loci associated with cortical morphology - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34560273

    ABSTRACT: Brain morphology has been shown to be highly heritable, yet only a small portion of the heritability is explained by the genetic variants discovered so far. Here we extended the Multivariate Omnibus Statistical Test (MOSTest) and applied it to genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of vertex-wise structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) cortical measures from N=35,657 participants in the UK Biobank. We identified 695 loci for cortical surface area and 539 for cortical thickness, in total 780 unique genetic loci associated with cortical morphology robustly replicated in 8,060 children of mixed ethnicity from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study®. This reflects more than 8-fold increase in genetic discovery at no cost to generalizability compared to the commo
