Newest firstSubstance use runs in families. Beyond genetic transmission, parental genetics can indirectly influence offspring substance use through the rearing environment, known as genetic nurture. This study utilizes transmitted and non-transmitted polygenic scores to investigate genetic nurture on tobacco, alcohol, and cannabis use in up to 15,863 adults with at least one genotyped parent from Lifelines, a population-based…
Open article record in new tab ↗Introduction Genetic factors are thought to play an important role in antipsychotic-induced weight gain (AIWG). Polygenic risk scores (PRS) could provide a measure of genetic predisposition to antipsychotic drug induced weight gain (AIWG).We conducted a study to examine how a PRS, generated using SNPs, identified from a recent meta-analysis, related to weight-change over time in people with first episode-psychosis…
Background Romantic relationships are important contexts for substance use and emotional well-being. We tested the hypotheses that (i) genetic predispositions for alcohol consumption would be positively associated with partner substance use, (ii) partner substance use would moderate genetic influences on one's own alcohol outcomes, and (iii) partner discordance in substance use would be associated with lower emoti…
Thyroid diseases are common and highly heritable. We performed a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies from 19 biobanks for five thyroid diseases: thyroid cancer (ThC), benign nodular goiter, Graves' disease, lymphocytic thyroiditis and primary hypothyroidism. We analyzed genetic association data from ~2.9 million genomes and identified 313 known and 570 new independent loci linked to thyroid diseases.…
Substance use has been associated with differences in adult brain morphology; however, it is unclear whether these differences precede or are a result of substance use substance use. We investigated the impact of polygenic risk scores (PRSs) for cannabis use disorder (CUD) and general substance use and substance use disorder liability (SU/SUD) on brain morphology in drug-naïve adolescents. Baseline data were used…
Introduction and AimDiabetes is a global health emergency with increasing prevalence and diabetes-associated morbidity and mortality. One of the challenges in optimising diabetes care is translating research advances in this heterogenous disease into clinical care. A potential solution is the introduction of precision medicine approaches into diabetes care. We aim to develop a digital platform called intelligent D…
Determining the clinically optimal dose in methadone maintenance therapy (MMT) is a time-consuming procedure, which considers clinical signs and symptoms.To perform a quantitative trait locus association for identifying genetic variants for MMT dosage that underlie heroin addiction and methadone metabolism and then integrate several genotypic and phenotypic factors are potential predictors for clinically optimal M…
