GRS of BP traits were associated with BI and SSBI (p = 0.0022), without indication of directional pleiotropy. Conclusion: In this multiethnic GWAS meta-analysis, including over 20,000 population-based participants, we identified genetic risk loci for BI requiring validation once additional large datasets become available. High BP, including genetically determined, was the most significant modifiable, causal risk factor for BI.]]> Wed 04 Aug 2021 10:54:18 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23883 P-value=3.12 x 10^-8) and in the joint discovery and replication meta-analysis (P-value=3.28 x 10^-9 after adjustment for age, gender and education) in an intron of the gene cell adhesion molecule 2 (CADM2) for performance on the LDST/DSST. Rs17518584 is located about 170 kb upstream of the transcription start site of the major transcript for the CADM2 gene, but is within an intron of a variant transcript that includes an alternative first exon. The variant is associated with expression of CADM2 in the cingulate cortex (P-value=4 x 10^-4). The protein encoded by CADM2 is involved in glutamate signaling (P-value=7.22 x 10^-15), gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) transport (P-value=1.36 x 10^-11) and neuron cell-cell adhesion (P-value=1.48 x 10^-13). Our findings suggest that genetic variation in the CADM2 gene is associated with individual differences in information processing speed.]]> Thu 13 Jan 2022 10:29:45 AEDT ]]>
