  • Large-scale GWAS of food liking reveals genetic determinants and genetic correlations with distinct neurophysiological traits - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 35585065

    ABSTRACT: We present the results of a GWAS of food liking conducted on 161,625 participants from the UK-Biobank. Liking was assessed over 139 specific foods using a 9-point scale. Genetic correlations coupled with structural equation modelling identified a multi-level hierarchical map of food-liking with three main dimensions: "Highly-palatable", "Acquired" and "Low-caloric". The Highly-palatable dimension is genetically uncorrelated from the other two, suggesting that independent processes underlie liking high reward foods. This is confirmed by genetic correlations with MRI brain traits which show with distinct associations. Comparison with the corresponding food consumption traits shows a high genetic correlation, while liking exhibits twice the heritability. GWAS analysis id

  • Investigating evidence for a causal association between inflammation and self-harm: A multivariable Mendelian Randomisation study - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 32473944

    ABSTRACT: Highlights Observational studies of the role of inflammation on self-harm have conflicting results. We used Mendelian Randomisation, a novel causal inference technique to explore this. Genetic liability for high levels of IL-6 were not associated with self-harm. We found some evidence that higher levels of CRP were protective for self-harm. This potential protective effect of CRP has also been found for schizophrenia. Background The causal role of inflammatory markers on self-harm and suicidal risk has been studied using observational data, with conflicting results. Confounding and reverse causation can lead to bias, so we appraised question from a genetic perspective to protect against these biases. We measured associations between genetic liability for high levels of inflammato
