Genome-wide association study of school grades identifies a genetic overlap between language ability, psychopathology and creativity

This study identifies genetic overlaps between psychiatric disorders, language ability, and creativity through a GWAS of school grades.

Rare Maternally Inherited Coding Variants on Chromosome X Carry Predominantly Male Risk in Autism, Tourette Syndrome, and Attention-deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

Genetic Association Study of Childhood Aggression across raters, instruments and age

This study conducts a genome-wide association meta-analysis of childhood aggression across multiple raters, instruments, and ages, identifying genetic correlations with various traits but no genome-wide significant SNPs.

Investigating regions of shared genetic variation in attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder and major depressive disorder: A GWAS meta-analysis

This study identifies 14 genome-wide significant SNPs associated with both ADHD and MDD, revealing novel genetic regions linked to their shared variation.

Examining sex-differentiated genetic effects across neuropsychiatric and behavioral traits

The paper examines sex-differentiated genetic effects across neuropsychiatric and behavioral traits using GWAS summary statistics and finds small, polygenic sex differences with enriched neuron-related genes.

A brief report: de novo copy number variants in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

This study identifies de novo copy number variants in children with ADHD, finding a higher mutation rate compared to controls and associations with known neurodevelopmental disorder loci.

Using genetics to examine a general liability to childhood psychopathology

The paper examines whether genetic liability to schizophrenia and ADHD contributes to shared risks across childhood psychiatric diagnoses through a general psychopathology factor.

Common risk variants identified in autism spectrum disorder

This study identifies five genome-wide significant loci and seven shared with other traits in a large ASD GWAS, highlighting polygenic heterogeneity and the value of large-scale GWAS in ASD.

Disentangling genetically confounded polygenic associations between Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, literacy and language

The paper investigates polygenic associations between ADHD and literacy/language abilities, finding that genetic confounding with educational attainment masks ADHD-specific reading impairments.

Copy number variation and neurodevelopmental problems in females and males in the general population

This study investigates the association between rare copy number variants (CNVs) and neurodevelopmental problems (NPs) in children, finding sex-specific effects in anxiety/depression.

Discovery Of The First Genome-Wide Significant Risk Loci For ADHD

Genome-wide association meta-analysis of 20,183 ADHD cases and 35,191 controls finds 12 significant loci; signal concentrates in conserved regions, constrained genes, and CNS regulatory elements.

The contribution of common genetic risk variants for ADHD to a general factor of childhood psychopathology

This study evaluates ADHD genetic risk variants' association with general psychopathology and specific neurodevelopmental traits, finding general pleiotropy and a specific link to hyperactivity/impulsivity.

Genetic evidence for shared risks across psychiatric disorders and related traits in a Swedish population twin sample

The paper finds genetic correlations between psychiatric disorders and related continuous traits in a Swedish twin sample, suggesting disorders are extreme ends of continuous traits.

A genetic investigation of sex bias in the prevalence of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

This study investigates genetic mechanisms underlying sex bias in ADHD prevalence using genome-wide data and finds no mean polygenic burden difference across sexes but increased risk in female siblings and comorbid conditions.

Genetic risk for autism spectrum disorders and neuropsychiatric variation in the general population

The paper identifies genetic links between autism spectrum disorders and typical variation in social behavior and adaptive functioning in the general population.
