Abstract Neurological and psychiatric disorders, including substance use share a range of symptoms, which could be the result shared genetic background. Many loci have been identified for these disorders using genome-wide association studies, but conclusive evidence about cell types wherein are active is lacking. We aimed to uncover implicated brain in neuropsychiatric traits assess consistency results across RNA datasets methods. therefore comprehensively employed type enrichment methods by...
Background The number of words children produce (expressive vocabulary) and understand (receptive changes rapidly during early development, partially due to genetic factors. Here, we performed a meta-genome-wide association study vocabulary acquisition investigated polygenic overlap with literacy, cognition, developmental phenotypes neurodevelopmental conditions, including Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Methods We studied 37,913 parent-reported size measures (English,...
Mastering developmental milestones such as infant motor and personal-social skills (including social routines pretend-play) can initiate a cascade of changes that may affect language learning. Specifically, development represent an important, but little understood “gateway” enabling children to interact with their environment. Here, we investigate how abilities link toddler performance, using genetic perspective. For this, studied measures (6 15 months) predictors development, captured by...

Abstract Background The number of words children produce (expressive vocabulary) and understand (receptive changes rapidly during early development, partially due to genetic factors, although mechanisms are not well understood. Here, we performed a meta-genome-wide association study within the EAGLE consortium investigated polygenic overlap with later-life traits, including Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) cognition. Methods We studied 37,913 parent-reported vocabulary size...
