The overlapping genetic architecture of psychiatric disorders and cortical brain structure - Nature Mental Health

|
By Zhiqiang Sha, Varun Warrier, Laura Schultz, Alison K. Merikangas, Ruben C. Gur, Michael J. Gandal, Jakob Seidlitz, Ole A. Andreassen
| Nature Verified
Abstract Both psychiatric vulnerability and cortical structure are shaped by the cumulative effect of common genetic variants across the genome. However, the shared genetic underpinnings between psychiatric disorders and brain structural phenotypes, such as thickness and surface area of the cerebral cortex, remain elusive.

Exposomic and polygenic contributions to allostatic load in early adolescence - Nature Mental Health Original

|
By Kate Tran, Tyler Moore, Barbara H. Chaiyachati, Laura Schultz, Nikolaos P. Daskalakis
| Nature Verified
Abstract Allostatic load (AL) is the cumulative ‘wear and tear’ on the body due to chronic adversity. We tested the poly-environmental (exposomic) and polygenic contributions to AL and their combined contribution to adolescent mental health. In this cohort study of N = 5,036 diverse youth (mean age 12 years) from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study, we calculated a latent AL score, childhood exposomic risk and genetic risk.
