Item Examining Sex-Differentiated Genetic Effects Across Neuropsychiatric and Behavioral Traits(Elsevier, 2021-06-15) Martin, Joanna; Khramtsova, Ekaterina A.; Goleva, Slavina B.; Blokland, Gabriëlla A.M.; Traglia, Michela; Walters, Raymond K.; Hübel, Christopher; Coleman, Jonathan R.I.; Breen, Gerome; Børglum, Anders D.; Demontis, Ditte; Grove, Jakob; Werge, Thomas; Bralten, Janita; Bulik, Cynthia M.; Lee, Phil H.; Mathews, Carol A.; Peterson, Roseann E.; Winham, Stacey J.; Wray, Naomi; Edenberg, Howard J.; Guo, Wei; Yao, Yin; Neale, Benjamin M.; Faraone, Stephen V.; Petryshen, Tracey L.; Weiss, Lauren A.; Duncan, Laramie E.; Goldstein, Jill M.; Smoller, Jordan W.; Stranger, Barbara E.; Davis, Lea K.; Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, School of MedicineBackground: The origin of sex differences in prevalence and presentation of neuropsychiatric and behavioral traits is largely unknown. Given established genetic contributions and correlations, we tested for a sex-differentiated genetic architecture within and between traits. Methods: Using European ancestry genome-wide association summary statistics for 20 neuropsychiatric and behavioral traits, we tested for sex differences in single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based heritability and genetic correlation (rg < 1). For each trait, we computed per-SNP z scores from sex-stratified regression coefficients and identified genes with sex-differentiated effects using a gene-based approach. We calculated correlation coefficients between z scores to test for shared sex-differentiated effects. Finally, we tested for sex differences in across-trait genetic correlations. Results: We observed no consistent sex differences in SNP-based heritability. Between-sex, within-trait genetic correlations were high, although <1 for educational attainment and risk-taking behavior. We identified 4 genes with significant sex-differentiated effects across 3 traits. Several trait pairs shared sex-differentiated effects. The top genes with sex-differentiated effects were enriched for multiple gene sets, including neuron- and synapse-related sets. Most between-trait genetic correlation estimates were not significantly different between sexes, with exceptions (educational attainment and risk-taking behavior). Conclusions: Sex differences in the common autosomal genetic architecture of neuropsychiatric and behavioral phenotypes are small and polygenic and unlikely to fully account for observed sex-differentiated attributes. Larger sample sizes are needed to identify sex-differentiated effects for most traits. For well-powered studies, we identified genes with sex-differentiated effects that were enriched for neuron-related and other biological functions. This work motivates further investigation of genetic and environmental influences on sex differences.Item Fine-mapping genomic loci refines bipolar disorder risk genes(medRxiv, 2024-02-13) Koromina, Maria; Ravi, Ashvin; Panagiotaropoulou, Georgia; Schilder, Brian M.; Humphrey, Jack; Braun, Alice; Bidgeli, Tim; Chatzinakos, Chris; Coombes, Brandon; Kim, Jaeyoung; Liu, Xiaoxi; Terao, Chikashi; O'Connell, Kevin S.; Adams, Mark; Adolfsson, Rolf; Alda, Martin; Alfredsson, Lars; Andlauer, Till F.

I.; Mullins, Niamh; Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, School of MedicineBipolar disorder (BD) is a heritable mental illness with complex etiology. While the largest published genome-wide association study identified 64 BD risk loci, the causal SNPs and genes within these loci remain unknown. We applied a suite of statistical and functional fine-mapping methods to these loci, and prioritized 22 likely causal SNPs for BD. We mapped these SNPs to genes, and investigated their likely functional consequences by integrating variant annotations, brain cell-type epigenomic annotations, brain quantitative trait loci, and results from rare variant exome sequencing in BD. Convergent lines of evidence supported the roles of SCN2A, TRANK1, DCLK3, INSYN2B, SYNE1, THSD7A, CACNA1B, TUBBP5, PLCB3, PRDX5, KCNK4, AP001453.3, TRPT1, FKBP2, DNAJC4, RASGRP1, FURIN, FES, YWHAE, DPH1, GSDMB, MED24, THRA, EEF1A2, and KCNQ2 in BD. These represent promising candidates for functional experiments to understand biological mechanisms and therapeutic potential. Additionally, we demonstrated that fine-mapping effect sizes can improve performance and transferability of BD polygenic risk scores across ancestrally diverse populations, and present a high-throughput fine-mapping pipeline (https://github.com/mkoromina/SAFFARI).Item Genome-wide association study of more than 40,000 bipolar disorder cases provides new insights into the underlying biology(Springer Nature, 2021-06) Mullins, Niamh; Forstner, Andreas J.; O'Connell, Kevin S.; Coombes, Brandon; Coleman, Jonathan R.I.; Qiao, Zhen; Als, Thomas D.; Bigdeli, Tim B.; Børte, Sigrid; Bryois, Julien; Charney, Alexander W.; Drange, Ole Kristian; Gandal, Michael J.; Hagenaars, Saskia P.; Ikeda, Masashi; Kamitaki, Nolan; Kim, Minsoo; Krebs, Kristi; Panagiotaropoulou, Georgia; Schilder, Brian M.; Sloofman, Laura G.; Steinberg, Stacy; Trubetskoy, Vassily; Winsvold, Bendik S.; Won, Hong-Hee; Abramova, Liliya; Adorjan, Kristina; Agerbo, Esben; Al Eissa, Mariam; Albani, Diego; Alliey-Rodriguez, Ney; Anjorin, Adebayo; Antilla, Verneri; Antoniou, Anastasia; Awasthi, Swapnil; Baek, Ji Hyun; Bækvad-Hansen, Marie; Bass, Nicholas; Bauer, Michael; Beins, Eva C.; Bergen, Sarah E.; Birner, Armin; Pedersen, Carsten Bøcker; Bøen, Erlend; Boks, Marco P.; Bosch, Rosa; Brum, Murielle; Brumpton, Ben M.; Brunkhorst-Kanaan, Nathalie; Budde, Monika; Bybjerg-Grauholm, Jonas; Byerley, William; Cairns, Murray; Casas, Miquel; Cervantes, Pablo; Clarke, Toni-Kim; Cruceanu, Cristiana; Cuellar-Barboza, Alfredo; Cunningham, Julie; Curtis, David; Czerski, Piotr M.; Dale, Anders M.; Dalkner, Nina; David, Friederike S.; Degenhardt, Franziska; Djurovic, Srdjan; Dobbyn, Amanda L.; Douzenis, Athanassios; Elvsåshagen, Torbjørn; Escott-Price, Valentina; Ferrier, I.

We performed a genome-wide association study of 41,917 bipolar disorder cases and 371,549 controls of European ancestry, which identified 64 associated genomic loci. Bipolar disorder risk alleles were enriched in genes in synaptic signaling pathways and brain-expressed genes, particularly those with high specificity of expression in neurons of the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus. Significant signal enrichment was found in genes encoding targets of antipsychotics, calcium channel blockers, antiepileptics and anesthetics. Integrating expression quantitative trait locus data implicated 15 genes robustly linked to bipolar disorder via gene expression, encoding druggable targets such as HTR6, MCHR1, DCLK3 and FURIN. Analyses of bipolar disorder subtypes indicated high but imperfect genetic correlation between bipolar disorder type I and II and identified additional associated loci. Together, these results advance our understanding of the biological etiology of bipolar disorder, identify novel therapeutic leads and prioritize genes for functional follow-up studies.Item Psychiatric Genomics: An Update and an Agenda(American Psychiatric Association, 2018-01-01) Sullivan, Patrick F.; Agrawal, Arpana; Bulik, Cynthia M.; Andreassen, Ole A.; Børglum, Anders D.; Breen, Gerome; Cichon, Sven; Edenberg, Howard J.; Faraone, Stephen V.; Gelernter, Joel; Mathews, Carol A.; Nievergelt, Caroline M.; Smoller, Jordan W.; O’Donovan, Michael C.; Psychiatric Genomics Consortium; Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, School of MedicineThe Psychiatric Genomics Consortium (PGC) is the largest consortium in the history of psychiatry. This global effort is dedicated to rapid progress and open science, and in the past decade it has delivered an increasing flow of new knowledge about the fundamental basis of common psychiatric disorders. The PGC has recently commenced a program of research designed to deliver "actionable" findings-genomic results that 1) reveal fundamental biology, 2) inform clinical practice, and 3) deliver new therapeutic targets. The central idea of the PGC is to convert the family history risk factor into biologically, clinically, and therapeutically meaningful insights. The emerging findings suggest that we are entering a phase of accelerated genetic discovery for multiple psychiatric disorders. These findings are likely to elucidate the genetic portions of these truly complex traits, and this knowledge can then be mined for its relevance for improved therapeutics and its impact on psychiatric practice within a precision medicine framework.
