    Abstract To investigate assortative mating (AM), participation bias and socioeconomic status (SES) with respect to the genetics of behavioural and psychiatric traits, we estimated AM signatures using gametic phase disequilibrium and within-spouses and within-siblings polygenic risk score correlation analyses, also performing a SES conditional analysis. The cross-method meta-analysis identified AM genetic signatures for multiple alcohol-related phenotypes, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, schizophrenia and Tourette syndrome. Here, after SES conditioning, we observed changes in the AM genetic signatures for maximum habitual alcohol intake, frequency of drinking alcohol and Tourette syndrome. We also observed significant gametic phase disequilibrium differences between UK Biobank mental health questionnaire responders versus non-responders for major depressive disorder and alcohol use disorder. These results highlight the impact of AM, participation bias and SES on the polygenic risk of behavioural and psychiatric traits, particularly in alcohol-related traits.

    Abstract Background: There is still a limited understanding of the dynamics contributing to the comorbidity of COVID-19 and anxiety outcomes.
    Methods: To dissect the pleiotropic mechanisms contributing to COVID-19/anxiety comorbidity, we used genome-wide data from UK Biobank (up to 420,531 participants), FinnGen Project (up to 329,077 participants), Million Veteran Program (175,163 participants), and COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative (up to 122,616 cases and 2,475,240 controls). Specifically, we assessed global and local genetic correlation and genetically inferred effects linking COVID-19 outcomes (infection, hospitalization, and severe respiratory symptoms) to anxiety disorders and symptoms.
    Results: We observed a strong genetic correlation of anxiety disorder with COVID-19 positive status (rg = 0.35, p = 2×10
    Conclusions: This study provided insights into the pleiotropic mechanisms linking COVID-19 and anxiety outcomes, suggesting differences between dynamics related to anxiety disorders and those related to anxiety symptoms.

    Abstract When present in coding regions, tandem repeats (TRs) may have large effects on protein structure and function contributing to health and disease. We use a family-based design to identify de novo TRs and assess their impact at the population level in 148,607 European ancestry participants from the UK Biobank. The 427 loci with de novo TR mutations are enriched for targets of microRNA-184 (21.1-fold, P = 4.30 × 10

    Abstract Background: Age-related comorbidity is common and significantly increases the burden for the healthcare of the elderly. Alzheimer's disease (AD) and hypertension are the two most prevalent age-related conditions and are highly comorbid. While hypertension is a risk factor for vascular dementia (VD), hypertension with AD (ADHyp+) is often characterized as probable vascular dementia. In the absence of imaging and other diagnostic tests, differentiating the two pathological states is difficult.
    Objective: Our goals are to (1) identify differences in CSF-based vascular dementia profiles, if any, between individuals who have AD only (ADHyp-), and individuals with ADHyp+ using CSF levels of amyloid β, tau and p-tau, and (2) compare genome-wide DNA profiles of ADHyp- and ADHyp+ with an unaffected control population.
    Method: Genotype and clinical data were used to compare healthy controls to AD Hyp- vs. AD Hyp+. We compared the CSF biomarkers followed by evaluating genome wide profiles in three groups, and mapped SNPs to genes based on position and lowest p-value. The significant genes were examined for co-expression and known disease networks.
    Results: We found no differences between Aβ, tau and p-tau levels between ADHyp- and ADHyp+. We found TOMM40 to be associated with ADHyp- as expected but not with ADHyp+. Interestingly, SLC9A3R2 polymorphism was associated with ADHyp+, and significant gene expression changes were observed for neighboring genes.
    Conclusion: Through this exploratory study using a novel cohort stratification design, we highlight the genetic differences in clinically similar phenotypes, indicating the utility of genetic profiling in aiding differential diagnosis of ADHyp+ and VD.

    Abstract Background and hypothesis: Individuals with schizophrenia (SCZ) suffer from comorbidities that substantially reduce their life expectancy. Socioeconomic inequalities could contribute to many of the negative health outcomes associated with SCZ.
    Study design: We investigated genome-wide datasets related to SCZ (52,017 cases and 75,889 controls) from the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium, household income (HI; N=361,687) from UK Biobank, and 2,202 medical endpoints assessed in up to 342,499 FinnGen participants. A phenome-wide genetic correlation analysis of SCZ and HI was performed, also assessing whether SCZ genetic correlations were influenced by HI effect on SCZ. Additionally, SCZ and HI direct effects on medical endpoints were estimated using multivariable Mendelian randomization (MR).
    Study results: SCZ and HI showed overlapping genetic correlations with 70 traits (p<2.89×10
    Conclusions: The effect of SCZ genetic liability on mental and physical health may not be strongly affected by socioeconomic differences. This suggests that SCZ-specific strategies are needed to reduce negative health outcomes affecting patients and high-risk individuals.

    Abstract Purpose: Coding mutations in the Transthyretin (TTR) gene cause a hereditary form of amyloidosis characterized by a complex genotype-phenotype correlation with limited information regarding differences among worldwide populations.
    Methods: We compared 676 diverse individuals carrying TTR amyloidogenic mutations (rs138065384, Phe44Leu; rs730881165, Ala81Thr; rs121918074, His90Asn; rs76992529, Val122Ile) to 12,430 non-carriers matched by age, sex, and genetically-inferred ancestry to assess their clinical presentations across 1,693 outcomes derived from electronic health records in UK biobank.
    Results: In individuals of African descent (AFR), Val122Ile mutation was linked to multiple outcomes related to the circulatory system (fold-enrichment = 2.96, p = 0.002) with the strongest associations being cardiac congenital anomalies (phecode 747.1, p = 0.003), endocarditis (phecode 420.3, p = 0.006), and cardiomyopathy (phecode 425, p = 0.007). In individuals of Central-South Asian descent (CSA), His90Asn mutation was associated with dermatologic outcomes (fold-enrichment = 28, p = 0.001). The same TTR mutation was linked to neoplasms in European-descent individuals (EUR, fold-enrichment = 3.09, p = 0.003). In EUR, Ala81Thr showed multiple associations with respiratory outcomes related (fold-enrichment = 3.61, p = 0.002), but the strongest association was with atrioventricular block (phecode 426.2, p = 2.81 × 10
    Conclusions: Overall, these findings highlight that TTR amyloidogenic mutations present ancestry-specific and ancestry-convergent associations related to a range of health domains. This supports the need to increase awareness regarding the range of outcomes associated with TTR mutations across worldwide populations to reduce misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis of TTR-related amyloidosis.
