The Genetic and Neural Substrates of Externalizing Behavior - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 36324656
ABSTRACT: Background To gain more insight into the biological factors that mediate vulnerability to display externalizing behaviors, we leveraged genome-wide association study summary statistics on 13 externalizing phenotypes. Methods After data classification based on genetic resemblance, we performed multivariate genome-wide association meta-analyses and conducted extensive bioinformatic analyses, including genetic correlation assessment with other traits, Mendelian randomization, and gene set and gene expression analyses. Results The genetic data could be categorized into disruptive behavior (DB) and risk-taking behavior (RTB) factors, and subsequent genome-wide association meta-analyses provided association statistics for DB and RTB (Neff = 523,150 and 1,506,537, respectively), yieldi

Phenome-wide investigation of health outcomes associated with genetic predisposition to loneliness - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 31518406
ABSTRACT: Abstract Humans are social animals that experience intense suffering when they perceive a lack of social connection. Modern societies are experiencing an epidemic of loneliness. Although the experience of loneliness is universally human, some people report experiencing greater loneliness than others. Loneliness is more strongly associated with mortality than obesity, emphasizing the need to understand the nature of the relationship between loneliness and health. Although it is intuitive that circumstantial factors such as marital status and age influence loneliness, there is also compelling evidence of a genetic predisposition toward loneliness. To better understand the genetic architecture of loneliness and its relationship with associated outcomes, we extended the genome-wide a

Genome-wide association analyses of risk tolerance and risky behaviors in over one million individuals identify hundreds of loci and shared genetic influences - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 30643258
ABSTRACT: Humans vary substantially in their willingness to take risks. In a combined sample of over one million individuals, we conducted genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of general risk tolerance, adventurousness, and risky behaviors in the driving, drinking, smoking, and sexual domains. Across all GWAS we identified hundreds of associated loci, including 99 loci associated with general risk tolerance. We report evidence of substantial shared genetic influences across risk tolerance and the risky behaviors: 46 of the 99 general risk tolerance loci contain a lead SNP for at least one of our other GWAS, and general risk tolerance is genetically correlated ( ~ 0.25 to 0.50) with a range of risky behaviors. Bioinformatics analyses imply that genes near general-risk-tolerance-associated

Lifestyle context
Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.
Lifestyle
-
Maintain healthy body weight Moderate
Mendelian randomization shows BMI and body fat causally increase loneliness; weight management reduces loneliness-related health consequences
Aim for BMI 18.5-24.9 through balanced diet and regular physical activity
-
Prioritize social relationships and community engagement Moderate
Intronic BPTF variant associated with genetic predisposition to loneliness; social connection is documented protective factor against loneliness and health risks
Schedule regular social activities weekly; join communities aligned with interests; maintain family and friend contact
Screening
-
Monitor for depression and mood disorders Moderate
Strong genetic correlation between loneliness and major depression (rg=0.88); PheWAS shows elevated mood disorder risk with loneliness predisposition
Annual mental health screening; consider regular check-ins with mental health professional
