The field of neuroscience views the goal of human genetics as "finding genes". This is an outdated view. In whole genome studies of rare variants, finding genes is the easy part. The more interesting and important goal is to map out the causal pathway from genes to brain function to cognitive traits

Great to see this paper finally online, and happy we could contribute (a bit) to it! It's a big progress in regard to variant discovery (especially for the other 4 Big 5) but Ted and team also ran a wide range of super interesting follow-up analyses, that showcase the potential of the results. 🥳🧬

Molecular Psychiatry - Intergenerational transmission of complex traits and the offspring methylome
Our new study in Molecular Psychiatry, in 1528 children and their parents (@ntrbiopsy.bsky.social) shows that indirect genetic effects—where parental genetics shape offspring traits via environmental influences (genetic nurture)—impact DNA methylation of children. doi.org/10.1038/s413... (1/5)

It is wonderful to be able to share the latest PGC major depression GWAS that included results from our Australian Genetics of Depression Study. Large scale GWAS meta-analyses aren't possible without collaboration between hundreds of researchers and hundreds of thousands of study participants.

Our study also links BPD genetics with personality traits e.g. showing a positive correlation with Neuroticism, and negative correlations with Agreeableness & Conscientiousness. We emphasize the need for larger samples, studies on diverse ancestries & including rare variants.

Strong genetic correlations were found between BPD and psychiatric conditions like PTSD, depression, ADHD, and antisocial behavior. Shared genetic risk with medical conditions further highlights the interplay between mental and physical health.

Borderline personality disorder is underresearched in genome-wide studies, but our findings confirm it as a polygenic disorder, much like other mental health conditions. GWAS approaches hold great promise for advancing our understanding of BPD.
