    الوصف: Abstract Childhood aggressive behavior (AGG) has a substantial heritability of around 50%. Here we present a genome-wide association meta-analysis (GWAMA) of childhood AGG, in which all phenotype measures across childhood ages from multiple assessors were included. We analyzed phenotype assessments for a total of 328 935 observations from 87 485 children aged between 1.5 and 18 years, while accounting for sample overlap. We also meta-analyzed within subsets of the data, i.e., within rater, instrument and age. SNP-heritability for the overall meta-analysis (AGGoverall) was 3.31% (SE = 0.0038). We found no genome-wide significant SNPs for AGGoverall. The gene-based analysis returned three significant genes: ST3GAL3 (P = 1.6E–06), PCDH7 (P = 2.0E–06), and IPO13 (P = 2.5E–06). All three genes have previously been associated with educational traits. Polygenic scores based on our GWAMA significantly predicted aggression in a holdout sample of children (variance explained = 0.44%) and in retrospectively assessed childhood aggression (variance explained = 0.20%). Genetic correlations (r g ) among rater-specific assessment of AGG ranged from r g = 0.46 between self- and teacher-assessment to r g = 0.81 between mother- and teacher-assessment. We obtained moderate-to-strong r g s with selected phenotypes from multiple domains, but hardly with any of the classical biomarkers thought to be associated with AGG. Significant genetic correlations were observed with most psychiatric and psychological traits (range $$\left| {r_g} \right|$$ r g : 0.19–1.00), except for obsessive-compulsive disorder. Aggression had a negative genetic correlation (r g = ~−0.5) with cognitive traits and age at first birth. Aggression was strongly genetically correlated with smoking phenotypes (range $$\left| {r_g} \right|$$ r g : 0.46–0.60). The genetic correlations between aggression and psychiatric disorders were weaker for teacher-reported AGG than for mother- and self-reported AGG. The current GWAMA of childhood aggression provides a powerful tool to interrogate the rater-specific genetic etiology of AGG.

    الوصف: FKBP5 encodes FK506-binding protein 5, a glucocorticoid receptor (GR)-binding protein implicated in various psychiatric disorders and alcohol withdrawal severity. The purpose of this study is to characterize alcohol preference and related phenotypes in Fkbp5 knockout (KO) mice and to examine the role of FKBP5 in human alcohol consumption. The following experiments were performed to characterize Fkpb5 KO mice. (1) Fkbp5 KO and wild-type (WT) EtOH consumption was tested using a two-bottle choice paradigm; (2) The EtOH elimination rate was measured after intraperitoneal (IP) injection of 2.0 g/kg EtOH; (3) Blood alcohol concentration (BAC) was measured after 3 h limited access of alcohol; (4) Brain region expression of Fkbp5 was identified using LacZ staining; (5) Baseline corticosterone (CORT) was assessed. Additionally, two SNPs, rs1360780 (C/T) and rs3800373 (T/G), were selected to study the association of FKBP5 with alcohol consumption in humans. Participants were college students (n = 1162) from 21–26 years of age with Chinese, Korean or Caucasian ethnicity. The results, compared to WT mice, for KO mice exhibited an increase in alcohol consumption that was not due to differences in taste sensitivity or alcohol metabolism. Higher BAC was found in KO mice after 3 h of EtOH access. Fkbp5 was highly expressed in brain regions involved in the regulation of the stress response, such as the hippocampus, amygdala, dorsal raphe and locus coeruleus. Both genotypes exhibited similar basal levels of plasma corticosterone (CORT). Finally, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in FKBP5 were found to be associated with alcohol drinking in humans. These results suggest that the association between FKBP5 and alcohol consumption is conserved in both mice and humans.

    الوصف: Externalizing problems (EP), including rule-breaking, aggression, and criminal involvement, are highly prevalent during adolescence, but the adult outcomes of adolescents exhibiting EP are characterized by heterogeneity. Although many youths' EP subside after adolescence, others' persists into adulthood. Characterizing the development of severe EP is essential to prevention and intervention efforts. Multiple predictors of adult antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) and legal outcomes of a large sample (N = 1205) of clinically- or legally-ascertained adolescents (ages 12-19 years) with severe EP were examined. Many psychosocial predictors hypothesized to predict persistence of EP demonstrated zero-order associations with adult outcomes, but accounted for little unique variation after accounting for baseline conduct disorder symptoms (CD) and demographic factors. Baseline measures of intelligence, which explained independent variation in legal outcomes, provided the only consistent exception to this pattern, though future work is needed to parse these effects from those of socioeconomic factors. CD severity during adolescence is a parsimonious index of liability for persistence of EP into adulthood that explains outcome variance above and beyond all other demographic and psychosocial predictors in this sample.

    الوصف: BackgroundDual systems theories suggest that greater imbalance between higher reward sensitivity and lower cognitive control across adolescence conveys risk for behaviors such as heavy episodic drinking (HED). Prior research demonstrated that psychological analogues of these systems, sensation seeking and premeditation, change from childhood through emerging adulthood, and each has been independently linked with HED. However, few studies have assessed whether change over time in these developing analogues is prospectively associated with HED. Moreover, we know of no research that has shown whether within-person differences between higher sensation seeking and relatively lower premeditation across the adolescent period predict HED in emerging adulthood.MethodsProspective data from the National Consortium on Alcohol and NeuroDevelopment in Adolescence study (n=715) were used to examine the association of sensation seeking and premeditation with HED among adolescents ages 16 to 20years. We used novel applications of latent difference score modeling and growth curve analysis to test whether increasing sensation seeking, premeditation, and their imbalance over time are associated with HED across the study period, and whether these associations differed by sex.ResultsWhereas premeditation increased linearly from adolescence through emerging adulthood across sexes, males reported growth and females reported decline in sensation seeking. Sensation seeking in adolescence (and not premeditation) was associated with higher levels of HED by emerging adulthood. Importantly, greater imbalance between sensation seeking and premeditation was associated with higher levels of HED by emerging adulthood though we note that variability capturing this imbalance correlated highly (r=0.86) with baseline levels of sensation seeking.ConclusionsDevelopmental imbalance between higher sensation seeking and lower premeditation in late adolescence may be a risk factor for greater HED in emerging adulthood.

    الوصف: Background: Variation in liability to cannabis use disorder has a strong genetic component (estimated twin and family heritability about 50–70%) and is associated with negative outcomes, including increased risk of psychopathology. The aim of the study was to conduct a large genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify novel genetic variants associated with cannabis use disorder. Methods: To conduct this GWAS meta-analysis of cannabis use disorder and identify associations with genetic loci, we used samples from the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium Substance Use Disorders working group, iPSYCH, and deCODE (20 916 case samples, 363 116 control samples in total), contrasting cannabis use disorder cases with controls. To examine the genetic overlap between cannabis use disorder and 22 traits of interest (chosen because of previously published phenotypic correlations [eg, psychiatric disorders] or hypothesised associations [eg, chronotype] with cannabis use disorder), we used linkage disequilibrium score regression to calculate genetic correlations. Findings: We identified two genome-wide significant loci: a novel chromosome 7 locus (FOXP2, lead single-nucleotide polymorphism [SNP] rs7783012; odds ratio [OR] 1·11, 95% CI 1·07–1·15, p=1·84 × 10 −9) and the previously identified chromosome 8 locus (near CHRNA2 and EPHX2, lead SNP rs4732724; OR 0·89, 95% CI 0·86–0·93, p=6·46 × 10 −9). Cannabis use disorder and cannabis use were genetically correlated (r g 0·50, p=1·50 × 10 −21), but they showed significantly different genetic correlations with 12 of the 22 traits we tested, suggesting at least partially different genetic underpinnings of cannabis use and cannabis use disorder. Cannabis use disorder was positively genetically correlated with other psychopathology, including ADHD, major depression, and schizophrenia. Interpretation: These findings support the theory that cannabis use disorder has shared genetic liability with other psychopathology, and there is a distinction between genetic liability to cannabis use and cannabis use disorder.

    الوصف: Aims To examine whether moderate adolescent cannabis use has neurocognitive effects that are unexplained by familial confounds, which prior family-controlled studies may not have identified. Design A quasi-experimental, sibling-comparison design was applied to a prospective, observational study of adolescents with moderate cannabis use. Participants were recruited from 2001 to 2006 (mean age = 17 years). A second wave of data was collected from 2008 to 2013 (mean age = 24 years). Setting Two US metropolitan communities. Participants A total of 1192 adolescents from 596 families participated in this study. Participants were primarily male (64%) and racially and ethnically diverse (non-Hispanic white = 45%). A sibling in each family was a clinical proband identified due to delinquent behaviors. Whereas prior family-controlled studies have used samples of primarily infrequent cannabis users (mean = 1-2 days/month), participants here endorsed levels of cannabis use comparable to findings from epidemiological cohort studies (mean = 7-9 days/month). Measurements Semi-structured clinical interviews assessed drug use, and a neuropsychological battery assessed cognitive abilities. Covariates included age at assessment, gender and alcohol use. Findings After correcting for multiple testing, a greater frequency and earlier onset of regular cannabis use were associated with poorer cognitive performance, specifically on tests of verbal memory. Further, after accounting for familial factors shared by siblings and alcohol use, poorer verbal memory performance was still associated with greater life-time frequency of cannabis use at wave 1 [b = -0.007 (-0.002, -0.012), adjusted P = 0.036]; earlier cannabis use at wave 2 [b = -0.12 (-0.05, -0.19), adjusted P = 0.006; b = -0.14 (-0.06, -0.23), adjusted P = 0.006]; and greater frequency of past 6 months use at wave 2 [b = -0.02 (-0.01, -0.03), adjusted P = 0.002; b = -0.02 (-0.01, -0.03), adjusted P = 0.008]. Conclusions Moderate adolescent cannabis use may have adverse effects on cognitive functioning, specifically verbal memory, that cannot be explained by familial factors.

    الوصف: Objective: To investigate the genetic architecture of internalizing symptoms in childhood and adolescence. Method: In 22 cohorts, multiple univariate genome-wide association studies (GWASs) were performed using repeated assessments of internalizing symptoms, in a total of 64,561 children and adolescents between 3 and 18 years of age. Results were aggregated in meta-analyses that accounted for sample overlap, first using all available data, and then using subsets of measurements grouped by rater, age, and instrument. Results: The meta-analysis of overall internalizing symptoms (INToverall) detected no genome-wide significant hits and showed low single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) heritability (1.66%, 95% CI = 0.84-2.48%, neffective = 132,260). Stratified analyses indicated rater-based heterogeneity in genetic effects, with self-reported internalizing symptoms showing the highest heritability (5.63%, 95% CI = 3.08%-8.18%). The contribution of additive genetic effects on internalizing symptoms appeared to be stable over age, with overlapping estimates of SNP heritability from early childhood to adolescence. Genetic correlations were observed with adult anxiety, depression, and the well-being spectrum (|rg| > 0.70), as well as with insomnia, loneliness, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism, and childhood aggression (range |rg| = 0.42-0.60), whereas there were no robust associations with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or anorexia nervosa. Conclusion: Genetic correlations indicate that childhood and adolescent internalizing symptoms share substantial genetic vulnerabilities with adult internalizing disorders and other childhood psychiatric traits, which could partially explain both the persistence of internalizing symptoms over time and the high comorbidity among childhood psychiatric traits. Reducing phenotypic heterogeneity in childhood samples will be key in paving the way to future GWAS success.

    الوصف: Alcohol biosensor devices have been developed to unobtrusively measure transdermal alcohol concentration (TAC), the amount of ethanol diffusing through the skin, in nearly continuous fashion in naturalistic settings. Because TAC data are affected by physiological and environmental factors that vary across individuals and drinking episodes, there is not an elementary formula to convert TAC into easily interpretable metrics such as blood and breath alcohol concentrations (BAC/BrAC). In our prior work, we addressed this conversion problem in a deterministic way by developing physics/physiological-based models to convert TAC to estimated BrAC (eBrAC), in which the model parameter values were individually determined for each person wearing a specific transdermal sensor using simultaneously collected TAC (via a biosensor) and BrAC (via a breath analyzer) during a calibration episode. We found these individualized parameter values produced relatively good eBrAC curves for subsequent drinking episodes, but our results also indicated the models were not fully capturing the dynamics of the system and variations across drinking episodes. Here, we report on a novel mathematical framework to improve our ability to model eBrAC from TAC data that uses aggregate population data instead of individualized calibration data to determine model parameter values via a random diffusion equation. We first provide the theoretical mathematical basis for our approach, and then test the efficacy of this method using datasets of contemporaneous BrAC/TAC measurements obtained by a) a single subject during multiple drinking episodes and b) multiple subjects during single drinking episodes. For each dataset, we used a set of drinking episodes to construct the population model, and then ran the model with another set of randomly selected test episodes. We compared raw TAC data to model-simulated TAC curve, breath analyzer BrAC data to model eBrAC curve with 75% credible bands, episode summary scores of peak BrAC, times of peak BrAC, and area under the drinking curve also with 75% credible intervals, and report the percent of the raw BrAC captured within the eBrAC curve credible bands. We also display results when stratifying the data based on the relationship between the raw BrAC and TAC data. Results indicate the population-based model is promising, with better fit within a single participant when stratifying episodes. This study provides initial proof-of-concept for constructing, fitting, and using a population-based model to obtain estimates and error bands for BrAC from TAC. The advancements in this study, including new applications of math, the development of a population-based model with error bars, and the production of corresponding MATLAB codes, represent a major step forward in our ability to produce quantitatively- and temporally-accurate estimates of BrAC from TAC biosensor data.

    الوصف: The genetic architecture of numerous smoking behaviors is highly polygenic, but these genetic effects are heterogeneous and depend on moderating factors. Here, we used common SNPs from the UK Biobank to investigate heterogeneous genetic effects for smoking heaviness using cigarettes per day (CPD) records, smoking initiation (SI), and smoking cessation (SC). We assessed heterogeneous effects across levels of sex, age of smoking initiation, major depressive disorder (MDD) DSM-V-like diagnosis, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) DSM-V-like diagnosis, and whether an individual has seen a psychiatrist for nerves, anxiety, tension, or depression. We observed suggestive evidence of heterogeneous genetic effects for CPD and SC, moderated by MDD and GAD, respectively [ (SE = 0.15) between MDD cases and controls, and (SE = 0.28) between GAD cases and controls, p < 0.05]. We detected 5 SNPs with genome-wide significant evidence of heterogeneous effects moderated by either MDD or GAD (p-value < 5×10-8) for CPD and SC. We also observed strong evidence for heterogeneous genetic effects for SI between sexes (between-sex , SE = 0.02). While we detected no individual SNPs that were moderated by sex at genome-wide significance (all p-value > 5×10-8), we observed evidence of novel genome-wide significant SI-SNP associations using sex-stratified GWAS; six loci were discovered in either men or women separately that were not identified in a previous smoking meta-analysis that had a 6-fold larger, sex-combined sample. Furthermore, using several independent testing samples, there was suggestive evidence that the prediction ability of a polygenic risk score (PRS) for smoking initiation improved through the utilization of sex-specific SNP effects. This work suggests that a more nuanced approach to GWAS analyses is warranted, as potential heterogeneous effects can complicate variant discovery and polygenic risk score accuracy.Author SummarySmoking imposes a heavy health burden and is highly polygenic in architecture. Consistent with most complex traits, many causal loci have yet to be identified, even when using the largest available samples. One possible reason for the difficulty in inferring genetic variants associated with such complex traits is that common genetic variants possess context-dependent (or heterogeneous) effects. Utilizing the UK Biobank, we find evidence for heterogeneous SNP effects on smoking initiation, heaviness, and cessation among psychiatric disorder cases and controls and between sexes. Failure to model such heterogeneity (when accounting for sample size) resulted in lower independent sample predictive ability. This work encourages a more nuanced approach to GWAS and polygenic risk prediction. The assumption that all genetic effects are homogeneous limits our understanding of complex traits when heterogeneous effects are present.

    الوصف: AIMS: The current meta-analysis tested independent and composite associations of three commonly studied alcohol metabolism alleles with alcohol use disorder (AUD) within East Asians as well as characterized potential moderating factors in these associations. METHODS: For meta-analysis, 32 articles were selected that investigated ALDH2 (n = 17,755), ADH1B (n = 13,591) and ADH1C (n = 4,093) associations with AUD in East Asians. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: All three variants were associated with AUD across allelic and genotypic models: ALDH2, ORs = 0.25, P < 0.001; ADH1B, ORs = 0.22–0.49, P < 0.001; ADH1C, ORs = 0.26–0.46, P < 0.001. Composite analyses suggested genetic associations did not differ across ALDH2*2 and ADH1B*2, correcting for multiple comparisons. Moderation analyses suggested ADH1B was more strongly associated with AUD among samples with cases recruited from treatment than the community. Also, strength of ALDH2 and/or ADH1B associations varied with mean age and proportion of men in cases and controls. Findings support medium to large and unique associations of ALDH2, ADH1B, and ADH1C with AUD in East Asians. Results also identified novel methodological and sample characteristics that may modulate strength of these associations.
