These changes are associated with runs of homozygosity (ROH), but not with common variant homozygosity, suggesting that genetic variants associated with inbreeding depression are predominantly rare. The effect on fertility is striking: FROH equivalent to the offspring of first cousins is associated with a 55% decrease [95% CI 44–66%] in the odds of having children. Finally, the effects of FROH are confirmed within full-sibling pairs, where the variation in FROH is independent of all environmental confounding.]]> Wed 26 Oct 2022 20:06:39 AEDT ]]> Study of 300,486 individuals identifies 148 independent genetic loci influencing general cognitive function https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41379 Tue 04 Apr 2023 19:08:51 AEST ]]> A Genome-Wide Association Study of Total Child Psychiatric Problems Scores https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50392 0.49), but not with autism or the less common adult disorders (schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or eating disorders) (rG < 0.01). Importantly, the total psychiatric problem score also showed at least a moderate genetic correlation with intelligence, educational attainment, wellbeing, smoking, and body fat (rG > 0.29). The results suggest that many common genetic variants are associated with childhood psychiatric symptoms and related phenotypes in general instead of with specific symptoms. Further research is needed to establish causality and pleiotropic mechanisms between related traits.]]> Mon 13 May 2024 11:16:33 AEST ]]> Polygenic prediction of educational attainment within and between families from genome-wide association analyses in 3 million individuals https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46970 Mon 12 Dec 2022 16:19:30 AEDT ]]>
