    The highly complex structure of the human brain is strongly shaped by genetic influences. Subcortical brain regions form circuits with cortical areas to coordinate movement, learning, memory and motivation, and altered circuits can lead to abnormal behaviour and disease. To investigate how common genetic variants affect the structure of these brain regions, here we conduct genome-wide association studies of the volumes of seven subcortical regions and the intracranial volume derived from magnetic resonance images of 30,717 individuals from 50 cohorts. We identify five novel genetic variants influencing the volumes of the putamen and caudate nucleus. We also find stronger evidence for three loci with previously established influences on hippocampal volume and intracranial volume. These variants show specific volumetric effects on brain structures rather than global effects across structures. The strongest effects were found for the putamen, where a novel intergenic locus with replicable influence on volume (rs945270

    Subcortical brain structures are integral to motion, consciousness, emotions and learning. We identified common genetic variation related to the volumes of the nucleus accumbens, amygdala, brainstem, caudate nucleus, globus pallidus, putamen and thalamus, using genome-wide association analyses in almost 40,000 individuals from CHARGE, ENIGMA and UK Biobank. We show that variability in subcortical volumes is heritable, and identify 48 significantly associated loci (40 novel at the time of analysis). Annotation of these loci by utilizing gene expression, methylation and neuropathological data identified 199 genes putatively implicated in neurodevelopment, synaptic signaling, axonal transport, apoptosis, inflammation/infection and susceptibility to neurological disorders. This set of genes is significantly enriched for Drosophila orthologs associated with neurodevelopmental phenotypes, suggesting evolutionarily conserved mechanisms. Our findings uncover novel biology and potential drug targets underlying brain development and disease.

    The cerebral cortex underlies our complex cognitive capabilities, yet little is known about the specific genetic loci that influence human cortical structure. To identify genetic variants that affect cortical structure, we conducted a genome-wide association meta-analysis of brain magnetic resonance imaging data from 51,665 individuals. We analyzed the surface area and average thickness of the whole cortex and 34 regions with known functional specializations. We identified 199 significant loci and found significant enrichment for loci influencing total surface area within regulatory elements that are active during prenatal cortical development, supporting the radial unit hypothesis. Loci that affect regional surface area cluster near genes in Wnt signaling pathways, which influence progenitor expansion and areal identity. Variation in cortical structure is genetically correlated with cognitive function, Parkinson's disease, insomnia, depression, neuroticism, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

    Understanding the genomic basis of memory processes may help in combating neurodegenerative disorders. Hence, we examined the associations of common genetic variants with verbal short-term memory and verbal learning in adults without dementia or stroke (N = 53,637). We identified novel loci in the intronic region of CDH18, and at 13q21 and 3p21.1, as well as an expected signal in the APOE/APOC1/TOMM40 region. These results replicated in an independent sample. Functional and bioinformatic analyses supported many of these loci and further implicated POC1. We showed that polygenic score for verbal learning associated with brain activation in right parieto-occipital region during working memory task. Finally, we showed genetic correlations of these memory traits with several neurocognitive and health outcomes. Our findings suggest a role of several genomic loci in verbal memory processes.

    Characterization of the genetic landscape of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and related dementias (ADD) provides a unique opportunity for a better understanding of the associated pathophysiological processes. We performed a two-stage genome-wide association study totaling 111,326 clinically diagnosed/‘proxy’ AD cases and 677,663 controls. We found 75 risk loci, of which 42 were new at the time of analysis. Pathway enrichment analyses confirmed the involvement of amyloid/tau pathways and highlighted microglia implication. Gene prioritization in the new loci identified 31 genes that were suggestive of new genetically associated processes, including the tumor necrosis factor alpha pathway through the linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex. We also built a new genetic risk score associated with the risk of future AD/dementia or progression from mild cognitive impairment to AD/dementia. The improvement in prediction led to a 1.6- to 1.9-fold increase in AD risk from the lowest to the highest decile, in addition to effects of age and the APOE ε4 allele.

    The hippocampal formation is a brain structure integrally involved in episodic memory, spatial navigation, cognition and stress responsiveness. Structural abnormalities in hippocampal volume and shape are found in several common neuropsychiatric disorders. To identify the genetic underpinnings of hippocampal structure here we perform a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 33,536 individuals and discover six independent loci significantly associated with hippocampal volume, four of them novel. Of the novel loci, three lie within genes (ASTN2, DPP4 and MAST4) and one is found 200 kb upstream of SHH. A hippocampal subfield analysis shows that a locus within the MSRB3 gene shows evidence of a localized effect along the dentate gyrus, subiculum, CA1 and fissure. Further, we show that genetic variants associated with decreased hippocampal volume are also associated with increased risk for Alzheimer's disease (rg=-0.155). Our findings suggest novel biological pathways through which human genetic variation influences hippocampal volume and risk for neuropsychiatric illness.

    Background: Despite evidence that Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is highly heritable, there remains substantial “missing” heritability, likely due in part to the effect of rare variants and to the past reliance on case‐control analysis. Here, we leverage powerful endophenotypes of AD (cognitive performance across multiple cognitive domains) in a rare variant analysis to identify novel genetic drivers of cognition in aging and disease. Method: We leveraged 8 cohorts of cognitive aging with whole genome sequencing data from the AD Sequencing Project to conduct rare variant analyses of multiple domains of cognition (N = 9,317; mean age = 73; 56% female; 52% cognitively unimpaired). Harmonized scores for memory, executive function, and language were derived using confirmatory factor analysis models. Participants genetically similar to the 1000Genomes EUR reference panel were included in analysis. Variants included in the analysis had a minor allele frequency < 0.01, a minor allele count of ≥ 10, and were annotated as a high or moderate impact SNP using VEP. Associations of baseline scores in each cognitive domain were performed using SKAT‐O, including 92,905 rare variants among 16,243 genes. All tests were adjusted for sex, baseline age, sequencing center and platform, and genetic principal components. Correction for multiple comparisons was completed using the Benjamini‐Hochberg false discovery rate (FDR) procedure. Result: APOE was associated with baseline memory, language, and executive function, though only memory survived multiple‐test correction (p.FDR = 0.001). Outside of APOE, ITPKB was associated with baseline executive function (p.FDR = 0.048). AKTIP, SHCBP1L, and CCNF showed nominal associations with multiple domains of cognition that did not survive correction for multiple comparisons (p.FDRs<0.07). Conclusion: These results highlight novel rare variants associated with cognition. IPTKB is an AGORA nominated gene target for potential AD treatment. It is important in the regulation of immune cells and displays higher expression in the cortex of AD patients compared to controls. CCNF and AKTIP are brain eQTLs and have differential RNA expression in AD brains. Previously, variants in AKTIP have been associated with educational attainment, intelligence, and memory, while variants in CCNF have been associated with neuritic plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. Future analyses will incorporate longitudinal cognition and expand into additional populations.

    Plasma neurofilament light as a biomarker for vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia
    (Wiley, 2025-01-09) Kautz, Tiffany F.; Mathews, Julia J.; Bernal, Rebecca; Wang, Chen-Pin; Liu, Qianqian; Gonzales, Mitzi M.; Tracy, Russell P.; Parent, Danielle; Wilcock, Donna M.; Sudduth, Tiffany L.; Wang, Danny J. J.; Sagare, Abhay P.; Rosenberg, Gary A.; Lu, Hanzhang; Kramer, Joel H.; Decarli, Charles; Jin, Lee-Way; Maillard, Pauline; Singh, Herpreet; Schwab, Kristin; Helmer, Karl; Greenberg, Steven M.; Kivisäkk, Pia; Aparicio, Hugo J.; Beiser, Alexa S.; Ghosh, Saptaparni; Fornage, Myriam; Mosley, Thomas H.; Mbangdadji, Djass; Launer, Lenore J.; Gudnason, Vilmundur; Bis, Josh; Psaty, Bruce M.; Seshadri, Sudha; Satizabal, Claudia L.; Neurology, School of Medicine
    Background: The MarkVCID consortium was established to address the paucity of biomarkers for vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID), a leading cause of dementia. Plasma neurofilament light (NfL), a neuroaxonal injury marker elevated in several neurological and neurodegenerative diseases, was selected as one of the first biomarkers to be examined. We performed comprehensive instrumental and clinical validation of the Quanterix Simoa NfL assay using the first MarkVCID cohort. Method: Plasma NfL was measured using HD‐X and HD‐1 Simoa instruments. Samples from the MarkVCID consortium were used to evaluate intra‐ and inter‐plate reliability, test‐retest repeatability, and inter‐site reproducibility. We used linear regression models to assess the association of NfL in MarkVCID with general cognitive function (GCF) as the primary outcome (n=331). In secondary analyses we assessed NfL associations with white matter hyperintensities (WMH). Models were adjusted for potential confounders, including eGFR as renal function influences NfL clearance. We replicated our findings using cohorts from the CHARGE consortium (CARDIA, ARIC, FHS, AGES; n=4,772), the UKY ADRC (n=350), and the UCD ADRC (n=196). Result: We found the Quanterix Simoa platform to be reliable with low coefficients of variation (average CV<12%), high inter‐site reproducibility (overall ICC = 0.93) and high repeatability in test‐retest samples drawn within 30 days (ICC=0.968). There was strong consistency across Quanterix instruments (HD‐X and HD‐1; R2≥0.98) and kits (N4PA and single molecule NfL; ICC≥0.81). We observed consistent significant associations between higher NfL concentrations and worse GCF in MarkVCID (β=‐0.23; [95% CI ‐0.41; ‐0.01), CHARGE cohorts (meta‐analysis β=‐0.11; [95% CI ‐0.17; ‐0.06]), the UKY ADRC (β=‐0.16; [95% CI ‐0.27; ‐0.05]) and the UCD ADRC (UCD: β=‐0.28; [95% CI ‐0.48; ‐0.08). Secondary analyses revealed significant associations between elevated NfL concentrations and higher WMH burden in MarkVCID (when controlled for eGFR), CHARGE, and the UCD ADRC. Conclusion: We have found that NfL can be reliably measured using the Quanterix platform, making this marker ideal for multi‐site clinical trials. We observed consistent associations for plasma NfL concentrations with cognition and WMH in MarkVCID and across independent samples, providing evidence that it can be a useful biomarker for stratification in VCID trials.
