Shared genetic architecture between eating disorders, mental health conditions, and cardiometabolic diseases: a comprehensive population-wide study across two countries - Nature Communications Here, the authors’ findings highlight genetic overlap between eating disorders, mental disorders, and cardiometabolic diseases, supporting the need for integrated treatment strategies across physical ...

I almost forgot to say that our paper www.nature.com/articles/s41... has now been published 🥳 How amazing is it to work with medical records and genealogies of 17 million people from 🇩🇰 and 🇸🇪 to derive familial risk estimates, heritabilities, and 🧬 correlations of #anorexia, #bulimia and more!

❓How do eating disorders develop?

👇 Watch our* video below to find out.

Nice paper! :)

Of course, I didn't do this work on my own and many thanks to all the co-authors @helenadavies.bsky.social @mischalundberg.bsky.social @cedar-research.bsky.social and many others that haven't switched over to bluesky yet.

Quantifying the relative importance of genetics and environment on the comorbidity between mental and cardiometabolic disorders using 17 million Scandinavians - Nature Communications Mental disorders are often linked with cardiometabolic disorders, but the mechanism remains unclear. Here, the authors use comprehensive health data from Denmark and to shed light on the genetic and e...

Also have a peak at our previous paper where we introduced our method to quantify the #genetic and #environmental underpinning to the comorbidity between #cardiovasculardiseases and #mentaldisorders. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Shared Genetic Architecture Between Eating Disorders, Mental Health Conditions, and Cardiometabolic Diseases: A Comprehensive Population-Wide Study Across Two Countries Eating disorders arise from a complex interaction of genetic and environmental influences. Here we provide comprehensive population-level estimates of the heritability of eating disorders and their ge...

Check out our latest preprint about the shared #genetics of #eatingdisorders and many other outcomes! We used the massive national registers of 🇩🇰 and 🇸🇪 and observed new genetic overlap between EDs and Autism and replicated previous OCD findings. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...
