Maternal prenatal symptoms of depression and down regulation of placental monoamine oxidase A expression

TL;DR: The hypothesis that maternal mood is associated with altered placental function is supported, with a reduction in placental MAO A expression consistent with a subsequent increase in fetal exposure to 5-HT.
Journal ArticleDOI

New alcohol-related genes suggest shared genetic mechanisms with neuropsychiatric disorders

Evangelos Evangelou, +114 more
TL;DR: This article conducted a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies of alcohol consumption from the UK Biobank, the Alcohol Genome Wide Consortium and the Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology Plus consortia, collecting data from 480,842 people of European descent to decipher the genetic architecture of alcohol intake.

New alcohol-related genes suggest shared genetic mechanisms with neuropsychiatric disorders

Evangelos Evangelou, +97 more
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies of alcohol consumption from the UK Biobank, the Alcohol Genome-Wide Consortium and the Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology Plus consortia identifies 46 new common loci associated with alcohol consumption and suggests genetic mechanisms that are shared with neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia.
Journal ArticleDOI

GWAS for urinary sodium and potassium excretion highlights pathways shared with cardiovascular traits

TL;DR: This study highlights pathways that are shared between urinary sodium and potassium excretion and cardiovascular traits and identifies 50 and 13 novel loci, respectively, some of which show a potential causal relationship with blood pressure based on MR analysis.

TL;DR: A genome-wide association study of alcohol use in ~480,000 people of European descent to decipher the genetic architecture of alcohol intake identified 46 novel, common loci and investigated their potential functional significance using magnetic resonance imaging data, gene expression and behavioral studies in Drosophila.
