  • Cross-ancestry and sex-stratified genome-wide association analyses of amygdala and subnucleus volumes. - Nature genetics (2025) · Ji Y, Liu N, Yang Y, Wang M, Cheng J, Zhu W, Qiu S, Geng Z, Cui G, Yu Y, Liao W, Zhang H, Gao B, Xu X, Han T, Yao Z, Zhang Q, Qin W, Liu F, Liang M, Wang S, Xu Q, Xu J, Fu J, Zhang P, Li W, Shi D, Wang C, Lui S, Yan Z, Chen F, Zhang J, Shen W, Miao Y, Wang D, Gao JH, Zhang X, Xu K, Zuo XN, Zhang L, Ye Z, Li MJ, Xian J, Zhang B, Yu C · PubMed 40097784

    The amygdala is a small but critical multi-nucleus structure for emotion, cognition and neuropsychiatric disorders. Although genetic associations with amygdala volumetric traits have been investigated in sex-combined European populations, cross-ancestry and sex-stratified analyses are lacking. Here we conducted cross-ancestry and sex-stratified genome-wide association analyses for 21 amygdala volumetric traits in 6,923 Chinese and 48,634 European individuals. We identified 191 variant-trait associations (P < 2.38 × 10 ), including 47 new associations (12 new loci) in sex-combined univariate analyses and seven additional new loci in sex-combined and sex-stratified multivariate analyses. We identified 12 ancestry-specific and two sex-specific associations. The identified genetic var

  • Genome-wide association analysis of 19,629 individuals identifies variants influencing regional brain volumes and refines their genetic co-architecture with cognitive and mental health traits - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 31676860

    ABSTRACT: Volumetric variations of human brain are heritable and are associated with many brain-related complex traits. Here we performed genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of 101 brain volumetric phenotypes using the UK Biobank (UKB) sample including 19,629 participants. GWAS identified 365 independent genetic variants exceeding significance threshold of 4.9 × 10−10, adjusted for testing multiple phenotypes. Gene-based association study found 157 associated genes (124 new), and functional gene mapping analysis linked 146 additional genes. Many of the discovered genetic variants and genes have previously been implicated in cognitive and mental health traits. Using genome-wide polygenic risk score prediction, more than 6% of phenotypic variance (P = 3.13 × 10−24) in four other ind

  • The Genetic Architecture of Amygdala Nuclei - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 37391117

    ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Whereas genetic variants influencing total amygdala volume have been identified, the genetic architecture of its distinct nuclei has yet to be explored. We aimed to investigate whether increased phenotypic specificity through nuclei segmentation aids genetic discoverability and elucidates the extent of shared genetic architecture and biological pathways with related disorders. METHODS: T1-weighted brain magnetic resonance imaging scans (N = 36,352, 52% female) from the UK Biobank were segmented into 9 amygdala nuclei with FreeSurfer (version 6.1). Genome-wide association analyses were performed on the entire sample, a European-only subset (n = 31,690), and a generalization (transancestry) subset (n = 4662). We estimated single nucleotide polymorphism-based heritabil
