Item Associations of parent–adolescent closeness with P3 amplitude, frontal theta, and binge drinking among offspring with high risk for alcohol use disorder(Wiley, 2023) Pandey, Gayathri; Kuo, Sally I-Chun; Horne-Osipenko, Kristina A.; Pandey, Ashwini K.; Kamarajan, Chella; Saenz de Viteri, Stacey; Kinreich, Sivan; Chorlian, David B.; Kuang, Weipeng; Stephenson, Mallory; Kramer, John; Anokhin, Andrey; Zang, Yong; Kuperman, Samuel; Hesselbrock, Victor; Schuckit, Marc; Dick, Danielle; Chan, Grace; McCutcheon, Vivia V.; Edenberg, Howard; Bucholz, Kathleen K.; Meyers, Jacquelyn L.; Porjesz, Bernice; Biostatistics and Health Data Science, School of MedicineBackground: Parents impact their offspring's brain development, neurocognitive function, risk, and resilience for alcohol use disorder (AUD) via both genetic and socio-environmental factors. Individuals with AUD and their unaffected children manifest low parietal P3 amplitude and low frontal theta (FT) power, reflecting heritable neurocognitive deficits associated with AUD. Likewise, children who experience poor parenting tend to have atypical brain development and greater rates of alcohol problems. Conversely, positive parenting can be protective and critical for normative development of self-regulation, neurocognitive functioning and the neurobiological systems subserving them. Yet, the role of positive parenting in resiliency toward AUD is understudied and its association with neurocognitive functioning and behavioral vulnerability to AUD among high-risk offspring is less known. Using data from the Collaborative Study on the Genetics of Alcoholism prospective cohort (N = 1256, mean age [SD] = 19.25 [1.88]), we investigated the associations of closeness with mother and father during adolescence with offspring P3 amplitude, FT power, and binge drinking among high-risk offspring. Methods: Self-reported closeness with mother and father between ages 12 and 17 and binge drinking were assessed using the Semi-Structured Assessment for the Genetics of Alcoholism. P3 amplitude and FT power were assessed in response to target stimuli using a Visual Oddball Task. Results: Multivariate multiple regression analyses showed that closeness with father was associated with larger P3 amplitude (p = 0.002) and higher FT power (p = 0.01). Closeness with mother was associated with less binge drinking (p = 0.003). Among male offspring, closeness with father was associated with larger P3 amplitude, but among female offspring, closeness with mother was associated with less binge drinking. These associations remained statistically significant with father's and mothers' AUD symptoms, socioeconomic status, and offspring impulsivity in the model. Conclusions: Among high-risk offspring, closeness with parents during adolescence may promote resilience for developing AUD and related neurocognitive deficits albeit with important sex differences.Item Clinical, genomic, and neurophysiological correlates of lifetime suicide attempts among individuals with alcohol dependence(medRxiv, 2023-04-29) Barr, Peter B.; Neale, Zoe; Schulman, Jessica; Mullins, Niamh; Zhang, Jian; Chorlian, David B.; Kamarajan, Chella; Kinreich, Sivan; Pandey, Ashwini K.; Pandey, Gayathri; Saenz de Viteri, Stacey; Acion, Laura; Bauer, Lance; Bucholz, Kathleen K.; Chan, Grace; Chao, Michael; Dick, Danielle M.; Edenberg, Howard J.; Foroud, Tatiana; Goate, Alison; Hesselbrock, Victor; Johnson, Emma C.; Kramer, John; Lai, Dongbing; Plawecki, Martin H.; Salvatore, Jessica E.; Wetherill, Leah; Agrawal, Arpana; Porjesz, Bernice; Meyers, Jacquelyn L.; Medical and Molecular Genetics, School of MedicineResearch has identified clinical, genomic, and neurophysiological markers associated with suicide attempts (SA) among individuals with psychiatric illness. However, there is limited research among those with an alcohol use disorder, despite their disproportionately higher rates of SA. We examined lifetime SA in 4,068 individuals with DSM-IV alcohol dependence from the Collaborative Study on the Genetics of Alcoholism (23% lifetime suicide attempt; 53% female; 17% Admixed African American ancestries; mean age: 38). We 1) explored clinical risk factors associated with SA, 2) conducted a genome-wide association study of SA, 3) examined whether individuals with a SA had elevated polygenic scores for comorbid psychiatric conditions (e.g., alcohol use disorders, lifetime suicide attempt, and depression), and 4) explored differences in electroencephalogram neural functional connectivity between those with and without a SA. One gene-based finding emerged, RFX3 (Regulatory Factor X, located on 9p24.2) which had supporting evidence in prior research of SA among individuals with major depression. Only the polygenic score for suicide attempts was associated with reporting a suicide attempt (OR = 1.20, 95% CI = 1.06, 1.37). Lastly, we observed decreased right hemispheric frontal-parietal theta and decreased interhemispheric temporal-parietal alpha electroencephalogram resting-state coherences among those participants who reported a SA relative to those who did not, but differences were small. Overall, individuals with alcohol dependence who report SA appear to experience a variety of severe comorbidities and elevated polygenic risk for SA. Our results demonstrate the need to further investigate suicide attempts in the presence of substance use disorders.
