Phantom genetic nurture: assortative mating accounts for most of the apparent association between parental genotypes and childhood cognitive performance

Daniel Shiloh Malawsky, Laura Hegemann, Olivia Wootton…·Hilary C. Martin

The paper introduces RAVEL, a framework to estimate genetic nurture effects by distinguishing direct and non-transmitted genetic associations in parent-offspring trios, finding assortative mating explains most apparent parental genetic influence on child cognition.

Separating direct, indirect and parent-of-origin genetic effects in the human population

Ilse Krätschmer, Laura Hegemann, Robin J. Hofmeister…·Matthew R. Robinson

The paper introduces JODIE, a model to estimate direct, indirect, and parent-of-origin genetic effects on height, BMI, and educational attainment using family trios from two biobanks.

Sex differences in the genetic basis of human recombination within 190,000 parent-child pairs

Ilse Krätschmer, Laura Hegemann, Gunnar Pálsson…·Matthew R. Robinson

This study identifies 58 genomic regions associated with meiotic recombination, 24 of which are sex-specific, and finds a moderate genetic correlation between male and female recombination rates.

Genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity in early neurodevelopmental traits in the Norwegian Mother, Father and Child Cohort Study.

Laura Hegemann, Elizabeth C. Corfield, Adrian Dahl Askelund…·Alexandra Havdahl

The paper examines genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity in early neurodevelopmental traits using data from the Norwegian Mother, Father, and Child Cohort Study, identifying 11 latent factors and trait-specific genetic correlations with autism, ADHD, and schizophrenia.
