@cognitivecamz.bsky.social on behavioral genetics as a public science

Our multi-ancestry GWAS of EXTernalizing conditions (ADHD, substance use...) in ~4M people reveals neurodevelopmental risk, drug-repurposing targets, and yields one of the strongest psychiatric polygenic indices yet! 🧬🎉 doi.org/10.64898/202...

Genomic insights into substance use and disinhibitory disorders

Externalizing spectrum disorders- spanning attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, conduct disorder, substance use disorders, and other disorders characterized by disinhibition - frequently co-occur...

Extremely excited to share the first effort of the Revived Genomics of Personality Consortium: A highly-powered, comprehensive GWAS of the Big Five personality traits in 1.14 million participants from 46 cohorts. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

here's one that we put online: neuroanatomy.github.io/cortex/ (takes freesurfer curv data as input or tables with values. Used by @cognitivecamz.bsky.social !)

Out today, our method for comparing multivariate genetic architecture across groups of people, called Genomic Structural Invariance: www.nature.com/articles/s41... (feat: @tuckerdrob.bsky.social @michelnivard.bsky.social @andrewgrotzinger.bsky.social @mijke.bsky.social @jorsmo.bsky.social et al.)

Comparison of the multivariate genetic architecture of eight major psychiatric disorders across sex - Nature Genetics

Genomic structural invariance, an extension of genomic structural equation modeling, identifies similarities and differences between males and females in the genetic architectures of eight psychiatric...

Are mental disorders extreme manifestations of continuous traits or genetically distinct entities? We present Genomic Taxometric Analysis of Continuous and Case-Control data (GTACCC) for evaluating genetic continuity and differentiation of traits across the severity spectrum. Tweetorial coming soon.

Quels sont les liens entre les différents troubles mentaux? Dans quelle mesure sont-ils dus à des facteurs génétiques communs? Cet article tente d'éclairer ces questions sur la base d'une de nos dernières études, menée par @cognitivecamz.bsky.social et publiée cet été:

Santé mentale : les liens génétiques et cliniques cachés entre certains troubles psychiatriques

Une étude s’intéresse aux similitudes génétiques et cliniques entre différents troubles psychiatriques pour, à terme, mieux soigner ceux qui souffrent de plusieurs pathologies en santé mentale.

Hidden Links: The Common Threads of Mental Health Disorders

In many illnesses, having one symptom makes you much more likely to have others. Such as, individuals with diabetes are more likely to also have hypertension. The same is also true for mental health d...

Studying sex differences in the human brain is challenging, but important. Many thanks to @emilysingerneuro.bsky.social & the fab folks @thetransmitter.bsky.social for inviting me to contribute to the evolving conversation on this timely topic ⬇️ 1/n

The Transmitter @thetransmitter.bsky.social · 2y ago

Although studying sex differences in the brain is complex, it is essential. Armin Raznahan @bogglerapture.bsky.social explains why ignoring different patterns of risk for brain-based conditions among males and females does us all a disservice. www.thetransmitter.org/sex-differen...
