Wonderful testament to the ongoing commitment of the TEDS twins that we have received funding for a further 5 years.

🧵 New publication from the PGC Anxiety Working Group. Our GWAS meta-analysis of anxiety disorders is now published in @natgenet.nature.com! 🔗: doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Genome-wide association study of major anxiety disorders in 122,341 European-ancestry cases identifies 58 loci and highlights GABAergic signaling - Nature Genetics Genome-wide association meta-analysis identifies 58 independent risk loci for major anxiety disorders among individuals of European ancestry and implicates GABAergic signaling as a potential mechanism...

Out earlier this week in @natgenet.nature.com: GWAS of major anxiety disorders in 122,341 European-ancestry cases identifying 58 loci (www.nature.com/articles/s41...)

Awesome work, and great news for the anx genetics community — each @pgcgenetics.bsky.social paper seeds 100s more papers!

Come join our vibrant department for a year to learn about the development and treatment of mental health conditions!

Delighted to be hiring a new Clinical Psychology Lecturer to come and join our vibrant environment at the SGDP Centre @kingsioppn.bsky.social @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social please share!

(2/2) In a preprint led by @megsk.bsky.social @thaliaeley.bsky.social in @gladstudy.bsky.social, GWASs of #functionalimpairment, anxiety, and depressive symptoms revealed high genetic correlations, suggesting symptom measures may detect most of the genetics of functional impairment. 🔍 osf.io/4d6ju

Genetics of monozygotic twins reveals the impact of environmental sensitivity on psychiatric and neurodevelopmental phenotypes - Nature Human Behaviour This study uncovered genetic associations with environmental sensitivity in psychiatric and neurodevelopmental traits in an international collaboration using data from more than 21,000 monozygotic twi...

This study uncovered several genetic associations linked to environmental sensitivity in psychiatric and neurodevelopmental traits, using data from over 21,000 MZ twins @munroepb.bsky.social @thaliaeley.bsky.social @neilmdavies.bsky.social

"Differences in individuals’ sensitivity to life experiences can explain why the same negative or positive experiences may have varying effects on people’s mental health, depending on their genetic make-up. Our findings suggest that specific genetic variants influence how environmental exposures impact psychiatric and neurodevelopmental symptoms." Dr Elham Assary, Postdoctoral Researcher at King’s College London

Researchers have found #genetic factors that may make people more or less sensitive to the environments they experience.

It is the largest genetics study of identical #twins to date.

Beautiful light as I head home after my first day as Head of Department @ SGDP Centre, @kingsioppn.bsky.social @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social. So delighted to take up this role after nearly 30 years working here, and hoping to ensure we continue to enrich the wonderful collegiate atmosphere.

1. With @thaliaeley.bsky.social, we will investigate the genetics of PTSD, anxiety, & stress related disorders, leveraging data from the PGC amongst others

2. With @psychgenomics.bsky.social, we will extend and apply our drug repositioning pipeline to eating disorders (amongst others) 2/3
