(1/9) 📣 OUT NOW! 📣 So excited to share that our systematic review and meta-analysis on the autism polygenic score is now published in JAACAP Open @jaacapjournals.bsky.social. doi.org/10.1016/j.ja... A (long) thread of our main findings ⤵️

🔎Looking for a clear overview of autism genetics?🔍 This 2021 Psychological Medicine paper provides just that! www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Some autistic people are diagnosed early 👶, others much later 🧑‍🎓. This new preprint finds that age of diagnosis links to different genetic and behavioral profiles. Such axes help explain why autism can look so different from one person to another. tinyurl.com/cexv5uh5

An axis of genetic heterogeneity in autism is indexed by age at diagnosis and is associated with varying developmental and mental health profiles

There is growing recognition that earliest signs of autism need not clearly manifest in the first three years of life. To what extent is this variation in developmental trajectories associated with ag...

📣Out now 📣 In a GWAS meta-analysis, @angelicaronald.bsky.social and colleagues identified 11 independent genome-wide significant loci associated with age at onset of walking. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Genome-wide association meta-analysis of age at onset of walking in over 70,000 infants of European ancestry - Nature Human Behaviour

A genome-wide association study of age at onset of walking in over 70,000 infants found 11 significant loci. Age at onset of walking showed SNP heritability of 24%, a reliable polygenic score and gene...

(in Dutch): Interessant interview met #GENEAmsterdam wetenschappers @mmdewit.bsky.social en @tincatwin.bsky.social: 'Erfelijk of ontwikkeld: hoe ontstaat autisme?' over hartnekkige misverstanden, de interpretatie van erfelijkheid en de invloed van externe factoren. www.quest.nl/mens/psychol...

Erfelijk of ontwikkeld: hoe ontstaat autisme?

Kinderen krijgen in Nederland gemiddeld pas rond hun vijfde de diagnose 'autisme'. Toch is neurodiversiteit in grote mate erfelijk. Hoe zit dat? Hoe ontstaat autisme?

No posts yet but this is a grassroots network of Amsterdam geneticists, crosses disciplines, institutions & career stage. All run out of passion on a shoestring budget. Great way to strike up collaborations!

Join us tomorrow for what I'm sure will be an interesting session on Science Outreach!

Outreach in psychiatric genetics - What is it? Why do we need it? How can we do it well? Join me, Niamh Ryan, and Cindy Bulik this Friday (6th) at 10am EST / 4pm CET / 3pm UTC where we'll discuss all of this for the PGC (@pgcgenetics.bsky.social) World Wide Lab 🌎 🔗 us02web.zoom.us/j/88690327502

Last Thursday, Thomas and @mmdewit.bsky.social shared insights on sex differences in autism and diagnostic ratios at an #AutismeCafe — bringing science beyond the department. Great discussions with autistic people and parents followed!
