Are There Causal Associations Between Obsessive‐Compulsive Disorder and Cardiometabolic Phenotypes? A Genetic Correlation and Bi‐Directional Mendelian Randomization Study

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In epidemiological studies, obsessive‐compulsive disorder (OCD) is robustly associated with increased risk of cardiometabolic disorders, including cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. However, the mechanisms behind these associations are unclear. We conducted genetic correlation analyses to explore shared genetic etiology and

Assessment of genetic risk for improved clinical-neuropathological correlations

open access: yesActa Neuropathologica Communications, 2020
In the clinical diagnosis of dementia with Lewy bodies, distinction from Alzheimer’s disease is suboptimal and complicated by shared genetic risk factors and frequent co-pathology.

Polygenic risk associated with post-traumatic stress disorder onset and severity. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric illness with a highly polygenic architecture without large effect-size common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).

Sex‐Specific Genetic Architecture of ALS: Evidence of a Female Protective Effect?

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Background Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) shows sex differences in incidence and age of onset, yet the underlying biological mechanisms remain poorly understood. Methods We investigated sex‐specific genetic architecture in an Italian ALS cohort with whole‐genome sequencing (1,333 ALS cases, 755 controls).

Variability of polygenic prediction for body mass index in Africa

open access: yesGenome Medicine
Background Polygenic prediction studies in continental Africans are scarce. Africa’s genetic and environmental diversity pose a challenge that limits the generalizability of polygenic risk scores (PRS) for body mass index (BMI) within the continent ...

The influence of polygenic risk for bipolar disorder on neural activation assessed using fMRI [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have demonstrated a significant polygenic contribution to bipolar disorder (BD) where disease risk is determined by the summation of many alleles of small individual magnitude. Modelling polygenic risk scores may be

Applying polygenic risk scores to postpartum depression [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Women's Mental Health, 2014
The etiology of major depressive disorder (MDD) is likely to be heterogeneous, but postpartum depression (PPD) is hypothesized to represent a more homogenous subset of MDD. We use genome-wide SNP data to explore this hypothesis.

Alternative Translation Initiation in PRKN Delays the Onset of Parkinson's Disease and Offers a Therapeutic Target

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Biallelic variants in PRKN cause autosomal recessive Parkinson's disease (PD) with a median age at onset of 31 years. When evaluating the 16 previously published carriers of a homozygous deletion of Exon 2 from the International Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorder Society Gene Database (MDSGene) database, the median age at onset is ...

Penalized regression and model selection methods for polygenic scores on summary statistics.

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2020
Polygenic scores quantify the genetic risk associated with a given phenotype and are widely used to predict the risk of complex diseases. There has been recent interest in developing methods to construct polygenic risk scores using summary statistic data.

Independent associations of TOMM40 and APOE variants with body mass index [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The TOMM40-APOE variants are known for their strong, antagonistic associations with Alzheimer's disease and body weight. While a stronger role of the APOE than TOMM40 variants in Alzheimer's disease was suggested, comparative contribution of the TOMM40 ...
