We report one gene-based significant association with the HMGN1 gene located on chromosome 21 (P=1 x 10-6). These genes have previously been associated with neuropsychiatric phenotypes. Meta-analysis results are consistent with a polygenic model of inheritance. To estimate SNP-based heritability, the genome-wide complex trait analysis procedure was applied to two large cohorts, the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study (N=6617) and the Health and Retirement Study (N=5976). The proportion of phenotypic variation accounted for by all genotyped common SNPs was 29% (s.e.=5%) and 28% (s.e.=7%), respectively. Using polygenic prediction analysis, ~1.2% of the variance in general cognitive function was predicted in the Generation Scotland cohort (N=5487; P=1.5 x 10-17). In hypothesis-driven tests, there was significant association between general cognitive function and four genes previously associated with Alzheimer's disease: TOMM40, APOE, ABCG1 and MEF2C.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:51:21 AEST ]]> A meta-analysis of 120 246 individuals identifies 18 new loci for fibrinogen concentration https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23033 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:13:48 AEDT ]]>
