Item A cross-disorder dosage sensitivity map of the human genome(Elsevier, 2022) Collins, Ryan L.; Glessner, Joseph T.; Porcu, Eleonora; Lepamets, Maarja; Brandon, Rhonda; Lauricella, Christopher; Han, Lide; Morley, Theodore; Niestroj, Lisa-Marie; Ulirsch, Jacob; Everett, Selin; Howrigan, Daniel P.; Boone, Philip M.; Fu, Jack; Karczewski, Konrad J.; Kellaris, Georgios; Lowther, Chelsea; Lucente, Diane; Mohajeri, Kiana; Nõukas, Margit; Nuttle, Xander; Samocha, Kaitlin E.; Trinh, Mi; Ullah, Farid; Võsa, Urmo; Epi25 Consortium; Estonian Biobank Research Team; Hurles, Matthew E.; Aradhya, Swaroop; Davis, Erica E.; Finucane, Hilary; Gusella, James F.; Janze, Aura; Katsanis, Nicholas; Matyakhina, Ludmila; Neale, Benjamin M.; Sanders, David; Warren, Stephanie; Hodge, Jennelle C.; Lal, Dennis; Ruderfer, Douglas M.; Meck, Jeanne; Mägi, Reedik; Esko, Tõnu; Reymond, Alexandre; Kutalik, Zoltán; Hakonarson, Hakon; Sunyaev, Shamil; Brand, Harrison; Talkowski, Michael E.; Medical and Molecular Genetics, School of MedicineRare copy-number variants (rCNVs) include deletions and duplications that occur infrequently in the global human population and can confer substantial risk for disease. In this study, we aimed to quantify the properties of haploinsufficiency (i.e., deletion intolerance) and triplosensitivity (i.e., duplication intolerance) throughout the human genome. We harmonized and meta-analyzed rCNVs from nearly one million individuals to construct a genome-wide catalog of dosage sensitivity across 54 disorders, which defined 163 dosage sensitive segments associated with at least one disorder. These segments were typically gene dense and often harbored dominant dosage sensitive driver genes, which we were able to prioritize using statistical fine-mapping. Finally, we designed an ensemble machine-learning model to predict probabilities of dosage sensitivity (pHaplo & pTriplo) for all autosomal genes, which identified 2,987 haploinsufficient and 1,559 triplosensitive genes, including 648 that were uniquely triplosensitive. This dosage sensitivity resource will provide broad utility for human disease research and clinical genetics.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 Genetic influences on schizophrenia and subcortical brain volumes: large-scale proof of concept(SpringerNature, 2016-03) Franke, Barbara; Stein, Jason L.; Ripke, Stephan; Anttila, Verneri; Hibar, Derrek P.; van Hulzen, Kimm J.; Arias-Vasquez, Alejandro; Smoller, Jordan W.; Nichols, Thomas E.; Neale, Michael C.; McIntosh, Andrew M.; Lee, Phil; McMahon, Francis J.; Meyer-Lindenberg, Andreas; Mattheisen, Manuel; Andreassen, Ole A.; Gruber, Oliver; Sachdev, Perminder S.; Roiz-Santiañez, Roberto; Saykin, Andrew J.; Ehrlich, Stefan; Mather, Karen A.; Turner, Jessica A.; Schwarz, Emanuel; Thalamuthu, Anbupalam; Shugart, Yin Yao; Ho, Yvonne Y.W.; Martin, Nicholas G.; Wright, Margaret J.; O'Donovan, Michael C.; Thompson, Paul M.; Neale, Benjamin M.; Medland, Sarah E.; Sullivan, Patrick F.; Department of Medical and Molecular Genetics, IU School of MedicineSchizophrenia is a devastating psychiatric illness with high heritability. Brain structure and function differ, on average, between people with schizophrenia and healthy individuals. As common genetic associations are emerging for both schizophrenia and brain imaging phenotypes, we can now use genome-wide data to investigate genetic overlap. Here we integrated results from common variant studies of schizophrenia (33,636 cases, 43,008 controls) and volumes of several (mainly subcortical) brain structures (11,840 subjects). We did not find evidence of genetic overlap between schizophrenia risk and subcortical volume measures either at the level of common variant genetic architecture or for single genetic markers. These results provide a proof of concept (albeit based on a limited set of structural brain measures) and define a roadmap for future studies investigating the genetic covariance between structural or functional brain phenotypes and risk for psychiatric disorders.Item Genome-wide association study identifies 30 obsessive-compulsive disorder associated loci(medRxiv, 2024-03-13) Strom, Nora I.; Gerring, Zachary F.; Galimberti, Marco; Yu, Dongmei; Halvorsen, Matthew W.; Abdellaoui, Abdel; Rodriguez-Fontenla, Cristina; Sealock, Julia M.; Bigdeli, Tim; Coleman, Jonathan R.; Mahjani, Behrang; Thorp, Jackson G.; Bey, Katharina; Burton, Christie L.; Luykx, Jurjen J.; Zai, Gwyneth; Alemany, Silvia; Andre, Christine; Askland, Kathleen D.; Banaj, Nerisa; Barlassina, Cristina; Becker Nissen, Judith; Bienvenu, O.

We conducted a GWAS meta-analysis combining 53,660 OCD cases and 2,044,417 controls from 28 European-ancestry cohorts revealing 30 independent genome-wide significant SNPs and a SNP-based heritability of 6.7%. Separate GWAS for clinical, biobank, comorbid, and self-report sub-groups found no evidence of sample ascertainment impacting our results. Functional and positional QTL gene-based approaches identified 249 significant candidate risk genes for OCD, of which 25 were identified as putatively causal, highlighting WDR6, DALRD3, CTNND1 and genes in the MHC region. Tissue and single-cell enrichment analyses highlighted hippocampal and cortical excitatory neurons, along with D1- and D2-type dopamine receptor-containing medium spiny neurons, as playing a role in OCD risk. OCD displayed significant genetic correlations with 65 out of 112 examined phenotypes. Notably, it showed positive genetic correlations with all included psychiatric phenotypes, in particular anxiety, depression, anorexia nervosa, and Tourette syndrome, and negative correlations with a subset of the included autoimmune disorders, educational attainment, and body mass index. This study marks a significant step toward unraveling its genetic landscape and advances understanding of OCD genetics, providing a foundation for future interventions to address this debilitating disorder.Item Genome-wide association study identifies 48 common genetic variants associated with handedness(Springer Nature, 2021) Cuellar-Partida, Gabriel; Tung, Joyce Y.; Eriksson, Nicholas; Albrecht, Eva; Aliev, Fazil; Andreassen, Ole A.; Barroso, Inês; Beckmann, Jacques S.; Boks, Marco P.; Boomsma, Dorret I.; Boyd, Heather A.; Breteler, Monique M.

Using data from the UK Biobank, 23andMe and the International Handedness Consortium, we conducted a genome-wide association meta-analysis of handedness (N = 1,766,671). We found 41 loci associated (P < 5 × 10-8) with left-handedness and 7 associated with ambidexterity. Tissue-enrichment analysis implicated the CNS in the aetiology of handedness. Pathways including regulation of microtubules and brain morphology were also highlighted. We found suggestive positive genetic correlations between left-handedness and neuropsychiatric traits, including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Furthermore, the genetic correlation between left-handedness and ambidexterity is low (rG = 0.26), which implies that these traits are largely influenced by different genetic mechanisms. Our findings suggest that handedness is highly polygenic and that the genetic variants that predispose to left-handedness may underlie part of the association with some psychiatric disorders.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 Patterns of item nonresponse behaviour to survey questionnaires are systematic and associated with genetic loci(Springer Nature, 2023) Mignogna, Gianmarco; Carey, Caitlin E.; Wedow, Robbee; Baya, Nikolas; Cordioli, Mattia; Pirastu, Nicola; Bellocco, Rino; Fiuza Malerbi, Kathryn; Nivard, Michel G.; Neale, Benjamin M.; Walters, Raymond K.; Ganna, Andrea; Medical and Molecular Genetics, School of MedicineResponse to survey questionnaires is vital for social and behavioural research, and most analyses assume full and accurate response by participants. However, nonresponse is common and impedes proper interpretation and generalizability of results. We examined item nonresponse behaviour across 109 questionnaire items in the UK Biobank (N = 360,628). Phenotypic factor scores for two participant-selected nonresponse answers, 'Prefer not to answer' (PNA) and 'I don't know' (IDK), each predicted participant nonresponse in follow-up surveys (incremental pseudo-R2 = 0.056), even when controlling for education and self-reported health (incremental pseudo-R2 = 0.046). After performing genome-wide association studies of our factors, PNA and IDK were highly genetically correlated with one another (rg = 0.73 (s.e. = 0.03)) and with education (rg,PNA = -0.51 (s.e. = 0.03); rg,IDK = -0.38 (s.e. = 0.02)), health (rg,PNA = 0.51 (s.e. = 0.03); rg,IDK = 0.49 (s.e. = 0.02)) and income (rg,PNA = -0.57 (s.e. = 0.04); rg,IDK = -0.46 (s.e. = 0.02)), with additional unique genetic associations observed for both PNA and IDK (P < 5 × 10-8). We discuss how these associations may bias studies of traits correlated with item nonresponse and demonstrate how this bias may substantially affect genome-wide association studies. While the UK Biobank data are deidentified, we further protected participant privacy by avoiding exploring non-response behaviour to single questions, assuring that no information can be used to associate results with any particular respondents.Item Principled distillation of UK Biobank phenotype data reveals underlying structure in human variation(Springer Nature, 2024) Carey, Caitlin E.; Shafee, Rebecca; Wedow, Robbee; Elliott, Amanda; Palmer, Duncan S.; Compitello, John; Kanai, Masahiro; Abbott, Liam; Schultz, Patrick; Karczewski, Konrad J.; Bryant, Samuel C.; Cusick, Caroline M.; Churchhouse, Claire; Howrigan, Daniel P.; King, Daniel; Smith, George Davey; Neale, Benjamin M.; Walters, Raymond K.; Robinson, Elise B.; Medical and Molecular Genetics, School of MedicineData within biobanks capture broad yet detailed indices of human variation, but biobank-wide insights can be difficult to extract due to complexity and scale. Here, using large-scale factor analysis, we distill hundreds of variables (diagnoses, assessments and survey items) into 35 latent constructs, using data from unrelated individuals with predominantly estimated European genetic ancestry in UK Biobank. These factors recapitulate known disease classifications, disentangle elements of socioeconomic status, highlight the relevance of psychiatric constructs to health and improve measurement of pro-health behaviours. We go on to demonstrate the power of this approach to clarify genetic signal, enhance discovery and identify associations between underlying phenotypic structure and health outcomes. In building a deeper understanding of ways in which constructs such as socioeconomic status, trauma, or physical activity are structured in the dataset, we emphasize the importance of considering the interwoven nature of the human phenome when evaluating public health patterns.Item Shared Genetic Risk between Eating Disorder and Substance Use-Related Phenotypes: Evidence from Genome-Wide Association Studies(Wiley, 2021) Munn-Chernoff, Melissa A.; Johnson, Emma C.; Chou, Yi-Ling; Coleman, Jonathan R.I.; Thornton, Laura M.; Walters, Raymond K.; Yilmaz, Zeynep; Baker, Jessica H.; Hübel, Christopher; Gordon, Scott; Medland, Sarah E.; Watson, Hunna J.; Gaspar, Héléna A.; Bryois, Julien; Hinney, Anke; Leppä, Virpi M.; Mattheisen, Manuel; Ripke, Stephan; Yao, Shuyang; Giusti-Rodríguez, Paola; Hanscombe, Ken B.; Adan, Roger A.H.; Alfredsson, Lars; Ando, Tetsuya; Andreassen, Ole A.; Berrettini, Wade H.; Boehm, Ilka; Boni, Claudette; Perica, Vesna Boraska; Buehren, Katharina; Burghardt, Roland; Cassina, Matgteo; Cichon, Sven; Clementi, Maurizio; Cone, Roger D.; Courtet, Philippe; Crow, Scott; Crowley, James J.; Danner, Unna N.; Davis, Oliver S.P.; de Zwaan, Martina; Dedoussis, George; Degortes, Daniela; DeSocio, Janiece E.; Dick, Danielle M.; Dikeos, Dimitris; Dina, Christian; Dmitrzak-Weglarz, Monika; Docampo, Elisa; Duncan, Laramie E.; Egberts, Karin; Ehrlich, Stefan; Escaramís, Geòrgia; Esko, Tõnu; Estivill, Xavier; Farmer, Anne; Favaro, Angela; Fernández-Aranda, Fernando; Fichter, Manfred M.; Fischer, Krista; Föcker, Manuel; Foretova, Lenka; Forstner, Andreas J.; Forzan, Monica; Franklin, Christopher S.; Gallinger, Steven; Giegling, Ina; Giuranna, Johanna; Gonidakis, Fragiskos; Gorwood, Philip; Gratacos Mayora, Monica; Guillaume, Sébastien; Guo, Yiran; Hakonarson, Hakon; Hatzikotoulas, Konstantinos; Hauser, Joanna; Hebebrand, Johannes; Helder, Sietske G.; Herms, Stefan; Herpertz-Dahlmann, Beate; Herzog, Wolfgang; Huckins, Laura M.; Hudson, James I.; Imgart, Hartmut; Inoko, Hidetoshi; Janout, Vladimir; Jiménez-Murcia, Susana; Julià, Antonio; Kalsi, Gursharan; Kaminská, Deborah; Karhunen, Leila; Karwautz, Andreas; Kas, Martien J.H.; Kennedy, James L.; Keski-Rahkonen, Anna; Kiezebrink, Kirsty; Kim, Youl-Ri; Klump, Kelly L.; Knudsen, Gun Peggy S.; La Via, Maria C.; Le Hellard, Stephanie; Levitan, Robert D.; Li, Dong; Lilenfeld, Lisa; Lin, Bochao Danae; Lissowska, Jolanta; Luykx, Jurjen; Magistretti, Pierre J.; Maj, Mario; Mannik, Katrin; Marsal, Sara; Marshall, Christian R.; Mattingsdal, Morten; McDevitt, Sara; McGuffin, Peter; Metspalu, Andres; Meulenbelt, Ingrid; Micali, Nadia; Mitchell, Karen; Monteleone, Alessio Maria; Monteleone, Palmiero; Nacmias, Benedetta; Navratilova, Marie; Ntalla, Ioanna; O’Toole, Julie K.; Ophoff, Roel A.; Padyukov, Leonid; Palotie, Aarno; Pantel, Jacques; Papezova, Hana; Pinto, Dalila; Rabionet, Raquel; Raevuori, Anu; Ramoz, Nicolas; Reichborn-Kjennerud, Ted; Ricca, Valdo; Ripatti, Samuli; Ritschel, Franziska; Roberts, Marion; Rotondo, Alessandro; Rujescu, Dan; Rybakowski, Filip; Santonastaso, Paolo; Scherag, André; Scherer, Stephen W.; Schmidt, Ulrike; Schork, Nicholas J.; Schosser, Alexandra; Seitz, Jochen; Slachtova, Lenka; Slagboom, P.

Twin studies reveal shared genetic risk between eating disorders and substance use, with the strongest associations between symptoms of bulimia nervosa (BN) and problem alcohol use, mainly abuse and dependence (twin-based genetic correlation [rg]=0.23–0.53). Analytic advances facilitate the computation of genetic correlations using summary statistics from existing genome-wide association studies (GWAS). We investigated shared genetic risk between eating disorder and substance use and disorder phenotypes using GWAS data. Four eating disorder phenotypes (anorexia nervosa [AN], AN with binge-eating, AN without binge-eating, and a BN factor score), and eight substance use-related phenotypes (drinks per week, alcohol use disorder [AUD], smoking initiation, current smoking, cigarettes per day, nicotine dependence, cannabis initiation, and cannabis use disorder) from eight studies were included. Total sample sizes per phenotype ranged from ~2,400 to ~537,000 individuals. We used linkage disequilibrium score regression to calculate single nucleotide polymorphism-based genetic correlations between eating disorder and substance use-related phenotypes. Significant positive genetic associations emerged between AUD and AN (rg=0.18; false discovery rate q=0.0006), cannabis initiation and AN (rg=0.23; q<0.0001), and cannabis initiation and AN with binge-eating (rg=0.27; q=0.0016). Conversely, significant negative genetic correlations were observed between three non-diagnostic smoking phenotypes (smoking initiation, smoking cessation, and cigarettes per day) and AN without binge-eating (rgs=−0.19 to −0.23; qs<0.04). The observed patterns of association between different eating disorder and substance use-related phenotypes highlights the potentially complex and substance-specific relationships between these behaviors associated with significant public health burden.Item Transancestral GWAS of alcohol dependence reveals common genetic underpinnings with psychiatric disorders(Springer Nature, 2018-12) Walters, Raymond K.; Polimanti, Renato; Johnson, Emma C.; McClintick, Jeanette N.; Adams, Mark J.; Adkins, Amy E.; Aliev, Fazil; Bacanu, Silviu-Alin; Batzler, Anthony; Bertelsen, Sarah; Biernacka, Joanna M.; Bigdeli, Tim B.; Chen, Li-Shiun; Clarke, Toni-Kim; Chou, Yi-Ling; Degenhardt, Franziska; Docherty, Anna R.; Edwards, Alexis C.; Fontanillas, Pierre; Foo, Jerome C.; Fox, Louis; Frank, Josef; Giegling, Ina; Gordon, Scott; Hack, Laura M.; Hartmann, Annette M.; Hartz, Sarah M.; Heilmann-Heimbach, Stefanie; Herms, Stefan; Hodgkinson, Colin; Hoffmann, Per; Hottenga, Jouke Jan; Kennedy, Martin A.; Alanne-Kinnunen, Mervi; Konte, Bettina; Lahti, Jari; Lahti-Pulkkinen, Marius; Lai, Dongbing; Ligthart, Lannie; Loukola, Anu; Maher, Brion S.; Mbarek, Hamdi; McIntosh, Andrew M.; McQueen, Matthew B.; Meyers, Jacquelyn L.; Milaneschi, Yuri; Palviainen, Teemu; Pearson, John F.; Peterson, Roseann E.; Ripatti, Samuli; Ryu, Euijung; Saccone, Nancy L.; Salvatore, Jessica E.; Sanchez-Roige, Sandra; Schwandt, Melanie; Sherva, Richard; Streit, Fabian; Strohmaier, Jana; Thomas, Nathaniel; Wang, Jen-Chyong; Webb, Bradley T.; Wedow, Robbee; Wetherill, Leah; Wills, Amanda G.; Boardman, Jason D.; Chen, Danfeng; Choi, Doo-Sup; Copeland, William E.; Culverhouse, Robert C.; Dahmen, Norbert; Degenhardt, Louisa; Domingue, Benjamin W.; Elson, Sarah L.; Frye, Mark A.; Gäbel, Wolfgang; Hayward, Caroline; Ising, Marcus; Keyes, Margaret; Kiefer, Falk; Kramer, John; Kuperman, Samuel; Lucae, Susanne; Lynskey, Michael T.; Maier, Wolfgang; Mann, Karl; Männistö, Satu; Müller-Myhsok, Bertram; Murray, Alison D.; Nurnberger, John I.; Palotie, Aarno; Preuss, Ulrich; Räikkönen, Katri; Reynolds, Maureen D.; Ridinger, Monika; Scherbaum, Norbert; Schuckit, Marc A.; Soyka, Michael; Treutlein, Jens; Witt, Stephanie; Wodarz, Norbert; Zill, Peter; Adkins, Daniel E.; Boden, Joseph M.; Boomsma, Dorret I.; Bierut, Laura J.; Brown, Sandra A.; Bucholz, Kathleen K.; Cichon, Sven; Costello, E.

To discover loci associated with AD and characterize the relationship between AD and other psychiatric and behavioral outcomes, we carried out the largest genome-wide association study to date of DSM-IV-diagnosed AD. Genome-wide data on 14,904 individuals with AD and 37,944 controls from 28 case-control and family-based studies were meta-analyzed, stratified by genetic ancestry (European, n = 46,568; African, n = 6,280). Independent, genome-wide significant effects of different ADH1B variants were identified in European (rs1229984; P = 9.8 × 10-13) and African ancestries (rs2066702; P = 2.2 × 10-9). Significant genetic correlations were observed with 17 phenotypes, including schizophrenia, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder, depression, and use of cigarettes and cannabis. The genetic underpinnings of AD only partially overlap with those for alcohol consumption, underscoring the genetic distinction between pathological and nonpathological drinking behaviors.
