Genome-wide analysis of social behaviour in context: a meta-regression approach across social domains, reporters and developmental stages

This study uses genome-wide meta-regression to analyze social behavior across different contexts, ages, and reporters, identifying six genetic loci and showing modest heritability.

Roles Played by Enhancer of Split Transcription Factors in Drosophila R7 Photoreceptor Specification

This study investigates how Enhancer of Split transcription factors mediate Notch signaling in Drosophila R7 photoreceptor specification by repressing specific gene expression.

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

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.

Genome-wide association meta-analysis of age at onset of walking

This paper conducts a genome-wide association meta-analysis of age at onset of walking, identifying 11 loci and showing genetic correlations with ADHD, BMI, intelligence, and brain structure.

Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis: Research Using the Autism Polygenic Score

This paper reviews and meta-analyzes studies using the autism polygenic score to assess its association with autism diagnosis and related traits, finding moderate associations with diagnosis and weaker links with traits.

Infants' attention to eyes is an independent, heritable trait predicting later verbal competence

The paper assesses eye preference in infants and finds it is heritable and predicts later verbal competence.

Genetic influences on neurodevelopmental disorders and their overlap with co-occurring conditions in childhood and adolescence: A meta-analysis.

This meta-analysis quantifies the heritability of neurodevelopmental disorders and their genetic overlap with co-occurring conditions, using over 4 million children and adolescents.

Mapping the genetic and environmental aetiology of autistic traits in Sweden and the United Kingdom

The paper maps genetic and environmental influences on autistic traits across Sweden and the UK using twin study data, revealing geographical variations in their aetiology.

Using DNA to predict behaviour problems from preschool to adulthood

This paper improves the prediction of behaviour problems using multi-GPS, cross-age and cross-rater composites, increasing predictive variance from less than 2% to up to 6%.

Babytwins Study Sweden (BATSS): A multi-method infant twin study of genetic and environmental factors influencing infant brain and behavioral development

The paper describes the Babytwins Study Sweden (BATSS), a longitudinal twin study combining EEG, eye tracking, genetics, and behavioral assessments to investigate genetic and environmental influences on infant brain and behavioral development.

Genetic overlap and causal associations between smoking behaviours and psychiatric traits and disorders in adolescents and adults

This study examines genetic overlap and causal links between smoking behaviors and psychiatric traits in adolescents and adults, finding significant genetic correlations and causal associations.

Genetic overlap between psychotic experiences in the community across age and with psychiatric disorders

This study examines genetic correlations between psychotic experiences across age and with psychiatric disorders, finding significant overlaps with schizophrenia and depression.

Genome-wide analysis of adolescent psychotic experiences shows genetic overlap with psychiatric disorders

This study finds genetic overlap between adolescent psychotic experiences and schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depression using polygenic risk scores and genome-wide association analyses.

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.
