Purpose of review Imaging genomics is an emerging field that is rapidly identifying genes that influence the brain, cognition, and risk for disease. Worldwide, thousands of individuals are being scanned with high-throughput genotyping (genome-wide scans), and new imaging techniques [high angular resolution diffusion imaging and resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)] that provide fine-grained measures of the brain's structural and functional connectivity. Along with clinical diagnosis and cognitive testing, brain imaging offers highly reproducible measures that can be subjected to genetic analysis. Recent findings Recent studies of twin, pedigree, and population-based datasets have discovered several candidate genes that consistently show small to moderate effects on brain measures. Many studies measure single phenotypes from the images, such as hippocampal volume, but voxel-wise genomic methods can plot the profile of genetic association at each 3D point in the brain. This exploits the full arsenal of imaging statistics to discover and replicate gene effects. Summary Imaging genomics efforts worldwide are now working together to discover and replicate many promising leads. By studying brain phenotypes closer to causative gene action, larger gene effects are detectable with realistic sample sizes obtainable from meta-analysis of smaller studies. Imaging genomics has broad applications to dementia, mental illness, and public health.

Summary: Males exhibit greater variability than females in many traits, which may have implications for understanding sex differences in health and disease. A mega-analysis of brain structure variability based on MRI data of 16,683 healthy individuals spanning nine decades of life reveals significant patterns of greater male than female between-subject variance in subcortical volumes, cortical surface area, and cortical thickness. These sex differences are present in childhood and may be influenced by early life genetic or gene-environment interaction mechanisms. The findings underscore the importance of individual differences within each sex, which may contribute to sex-specific vulnerability to disorders.

Reproducibility in the absence of selective reporting: An illustration from large-scale brain asymmetry research

Xiang-Zhen Kong, Clyde Francks

Summary: The problem of poor reproducibility of scientific findings has been a topic of concern in recent years. A recent multisite collaborative study investigated the reproducibility of brain anatomical left-right asymmetries in regional measures of surface area and cortical thickness. The study found an average reproducibility rate of 63.2%, with larger effects and larger datasets having higher reproducibility.

Summary: Age has a significant impact on brain volume, with different regions showing varying trajectories. Basal ganglia volume decreases with age, while lateral ventricles continue to enlarge. These findings provide important insights into the functional significance of age-related morphometric patterns in the brain.

Big Five Personality Traits and Illicit Drug Use: Specificity in Trait-Drug Associations

Genevieve F. Dash, Nicholas G. Martin, Wendy S. Slutske

Summary: Certain personality traits may increase the risk of using specific illicit drugs. The commonly identified associations between high neuroticism, low agreeableness, and low conscientiousness with drug use may be due to familial influences rather than personality itself. This insight can help predict the risk of illicit drug use more accurately and inform targeted prevention efforts.

Summary: The use of spoken and written language is a fundamental human capacity. Genetic variation influences individual differences in reading- and language-related skills, with a heritability estimate of 30 to 80%. This study conducted a genome-wide association study on samples of 13,633 to 33,959 participants and identified a significant association between a genetic locus and word reading. All five reading-/language-related traits showed robust SNP heritability.

Polygenic influences associated with adolescent cognitive skills

Summary: Genes play an important role in children's cognitive ability. Recent advances in genomics have allowed us to test the effects of different genetic predispositions on cognitive outcomes. A study conducted on a cohort of Australian adolescent twins showed that polygenic risk scores for educational attainment, intelligence, and cognitive performance explained a certain percentage of variance in academic skills and intelligence test scores. Furthermore, it was found that genetic susceptibility to certain mental health disorders was associated with poorer performance on various cognitive and academic tests.

Summary: Reading Disability (RD) is often associated with difficulties in language phonology. Genome-wide association studies have identified genetic loci related to neuronal migration, axon guidance, and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) that may be implicated in RD. This study contributes candidate loci to the genetics of word reading and suggests that alleles linked to ASD risk may also be involved in word reading.

Summary: Testing the effect of rare variants on phenotypic variation is challenging due to the need for large cohorts. This study investigates the effect of rare genetic variants on DNA methylation (DNAm) and demonstrates their role in phenotypic variation. The study also shows that extreme levels of DNAm have functional consequences on gene expression.

The Heritability of Subjective Cognitive Complaints in Older Australian Twins

Amanda E. Selwood, Vibeke S. Catts, Katya Numbers, Teresa Lee, Anbupalam Thalamuthu, Margaret J. Wright, Perminder S. Sachdev

Summary: This study aimed to examine the heritability of subjective cognitive complaints (SCCs) and their correlations with memory ability, personality, and mood. The results showed that SCCs had moderate heritability and were genetically, environmentally, and phenotypically correlated with memory performance, personality, and mood. Specifically, mood was environmentally related to SCCs, while memory performance had a genetic correlation with SCCs. The link between personality and SCCs was mediated by mood. These findings suggest that SCCs are influenced by both mood and memory performance, and these determinants are not mutually exclusive.

The Effect of Genetic Predisposition to Alzheimer's Disease and Related Traits on Recruitment Bias in a Study of Cognitive Aging

Summary: The recruitment of participants for research studies may be biased. The Prospective Imaging Study of Ageing (PISA) aims to understand the traits and course of healthy adults at high risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in the future. The genetic data of successfully and unsuccessfully recruited participants from existing cohort studies were analyzed to investigate the genetic contribution to voluntary recruitment and genetic predisposition to AD. While no significant association was found between the genetic risk for AD and study participation, significant associations were observed with key causal risk factors for AD, such as IQ, household income, and years of education. Older age and female gender were also found to be factors influencing study participation. The findings underscore the importance of considering bias in key risk factors for AD when recruiting individuals for cohort studies.
