Bioinformatics analyses imply that genes near SNPs associated with general risk tolerance are highly expressed in brain tissues and point to a role for glutamatergic and GABAergic neurotransmission. We found no evidence of enrichment for genes previously hypothesized to relate to risk tolerance.]]> Wed 25 Jan 2023 14:39:42 AEDT ]]> Genetic variants associated with subjective well-being, depressive symptoms, and neuroticism identified through genome-wide analyses https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30267 n = 298,420), depressive symptoms (n = 161,460), and neuroticism (n = 170,911). We identify 3 variants associated with subjective well-being, 2 variants associated with depressive symptoms, and 11 variants associated with neuroticism, including 2 inversion polymorphisms. The two loci associated with depressive symptoms replicate in an independent depression sample. Joint analyses that exploit the high genetic correlations between the phenotypes (|ρˆ| ≈ 0.8) strengthen the overall credibility of the findings and allow us to identify additional variants. Across our phenotypes, loci regulating expression in central nervous system and adrenal or pancreas tissues are strongly enriched for association.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:33:37 AEDT ]]> Genomic relationships, novel loci, and pleiotropic mechanisms across eight psychiatric disorders https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46603 Fri 25 Nov 2022 16:41:41 AEDT ]]>
