Summary: MULTI-PSYCH is a research project aimed at improving risk stratification, outcome prediction, and secondary preventive interventions for depression and anxiety disorders through highly structured internet-based cognitive-behaviour therapy (ICBT). The project combines clinical, genetic, and nationwide register data, and includes 2668 patients with depression and anxiety who underwent 12 weeks of ICBT at an internet psychiatry clinic in Stockholm, Sweden.

Summary: The study investigates the genetic architecture of internalizing symptoms in children and adolescents, finding rater-based heterogeneity in genetic effects and genetic correlations with adult internalizing disorders and other childhood psychiatric traits. Additionally, reducing phenotypic heterogeneity in childhood samples is crucial for future GWAS success.

Summary: Gait speed is a significant health indicator related to aging, with potential genetic contributions to its decline. The study in the Long Life Family Study found genetic heritability of gait speed change, with a significant locus identified on chromosome 16p. Further analysis of the ADCY9 gene on chromosome 16 may provide new insights into mobility decline with aging.
