    Abstract Sex differences in the etiology of human trait variation are a major topic of interest in the social and medical sciences given its far-reaching implications. For example, in genetic research, the presence of sex-specific effects would require sex-stratified analysis, and in clinical practice sex-specific treatments would be warranted. Here, we present a study of 2,335,920 twin pairs, in which we tested sex differences in genetic and environmental contributions to variation in 2,608 reported human traits, clustered in 50 trait categories. Monozygotic and dizygotic male and female twin correlations were used to test whether the amount of genetic and environmental influences was equal between the sexes. By comparing dizygotic opposite sex twin correlations with dizygotic same sex twin correlations we could also test whether sex-specific genetic or environmental factors were involved. We observed for only 3% of all trait categories sex differences in the amount of etiological influences. Sex-specific genetic factors were observed for 25% of trait categories, often involving obviously sex-dependent trait categories such as puberty-related disorders. Our findings show that for most traits the number of sex-specific genetic variants will be small. For those traits where we do report sexual dimorphism, sex-specific approaches may aid in future gene-finding efforts.

    Abstract Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology is more and more used for the study of genetically complex human disease but is challenged by variability, sample size and polygenicity. We discuss studies involving iPSC-derived neurons from patients with Schizophrenia (SCZ), to exemplify that heterogeneity in sampling strategy complicate the detection of disease mechanisms. We offer a solution to controlling variability within and between iPSC studies by using specific patient selection strategies.

    Abstract Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of psychological traits are generally conducted on (dichotomized) sums of items or symptoms (e.g., case-control status), and not on the individual items or symptoms themselves. We conduct large-scale GWAS on 12 neuroticism items and observe notable and replicable variation in genetic signal between items. Within samples, genetic correlations among the items range between 0.38 and 0.91 (mean r

    Abstract Genetic factors play a major role in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology, but biological mechanisms through which these factors contribute to AD remain elusive. Using a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteomic approach, we examined associations between polygenic risk scores for AD (PGRS) and CSF proteomic profiles in 250 individuals with normal cognition, mild cognitive impairment, and AD-type dementia from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative. Out of 412 proteins, 201 were associated with PGRS. Hierarchical clustering analysis on proteins associated with PGRS at different single-nucleotide polymorphism p-value inclusion thresholds identified 3 clusters: (1) a protein cluster correlated with highly significant single-nucleotide polymorphisms, associated with amyloid-beta pathology and complement cascades; (2) a protein cluster associated with PGRS additionally including variants contributing to modest risk, involved in neural injury; (3) a protein cluster that also included less strongly associated variants, enriched with cytokine-cytokine interactions and cell adhesion molecules. These findings suggest that CSF protein levels reflect varying degrees of genetic liability for AD and may serve as a tool to investigate biological mechanisms in AD.

    Abstract Gene-set analysis provides insight into which functional and biological properties of genes are aetiologically relevant for a particular phenotype. But genes have multiple properties, and these properties are often correlated across genes. This can cause confounding in a gene-set analysis, because one property may be statistically associated even if biologically irrelevant to the phenotype, by being correlated with gene properties that are relevant. To address this issue we present a novel conditional and interaction gene-set analysis approach, which attains considerable functional refinement of its conclusions compared to traditional gene-set analysis. We applied our approach to blood pressure phenotypes in the UK Biobank data (N = 360,243), the results of which we report here. We confirm and further refine several associations with multiple processes involved in heart and blood vessel formation but also identify novel interactions, among others with cardiovascular tissues involved in regulatory pathways of blood pressure homoeostasis.
