Abstract

Polygenic indexes (PGIs) are DNA-based predictors. Their value for research in many scientific disciplines is growing rapidly. As a resource for researchers, we used a consistent methodology to construct PGIs for 47 phenotypes in 11 datasets. To maximize the PGIs' prediction accuracies, we constructed them using genome-wide association studies-some not previously published-from multiple data sources, including 23andMe and UK Biobank. We present a theoretical framework to help interpret analyses involving PGIs. A key insight is that a PGI can be understood as an unbiased but noisy measure of a latent variable we call the 'additive SNP factor'. Regressions in which the true regressor is this factor but the PGI is used as its proxy therefore suffer from errors-in-variables bias. We derive an estimator that corrects for the bias, illustrate the correction, and make a Python tool for implementing it publicly available.

Abstract

Behaviors and disorders related to self-regulation, such as substance use, antisocial behavior and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, are collectively referred to as externalizing and have shared genetic liability. We applied a multivariate approach that leverages genetic correlations among externalizing traits for genome-wide association analyses. By pooling data from ~1.5 million people, our approach is statistically more powerful than single-trait analyses and identifies more than 500 genetic loci. The loci were enriched for genes expressed in the brain and related to nervous system development. A polygenic score constructed from our results predicts a range of behavioral and medical outcomes that were not part of genome-wide analyses, including traits that until now lacked well-performing polygenic scores, such as opioid use disorder, suicide, HIV infections, criminal convictions and unemployment. Our findings are consistent with the idea that persistent difficulties in self-regulation can be conceptualized as a neurodevelopmental trait with complex and far-reaching social and health correlates.

13. Genetic Fortune: Winning or Losing Education, Income, and Health

Abstract

We develop a polygenic index for individual income and examine random differences in this index with lifetime outcomes in a sample of ~35,000 biological siblings. We find that genetic fortune for higher income causes greater socio-economic status and better health, partly via intervenable environmental pathways such as education. The positive returns to schooling remain substantial even after controlling for now observable genetic confounds. Our findings illustrate that inequalities in education, income, and health are partly due the outcomes of a genetic lottery. However, the consequences of different genetic endowments are malleable, for example via policies that target education.

Abstract

Humans vary substantially in their willingness to take risks. In a combined sample of over 1 million individuals, we conducted genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of general risk tolerance, adventurousness, and risky behaviors in the driving, drinking, smoking, and sexual domains. Across all GWAS, we identified hundreds of associated loci, including 99 loci associated with general risk tolerance. We report evidence of substantial shared genetic influences across risk tolerance and the risky behaviors: 46 of the 99 general risk tolerance loci contain a lead SNP for at least one of our other GWAS, and general risk tolerance is genetically correlated ([Formula: see text] ~ 0.25 to 0.50) with a range of risky behaviors. Bioinformatics analyses imply that genes near SNPs associated with general risk tolerance are highly expressed in brain tissues and point to a role for glutamatergic and GABAergic neurotransmission. We found no evidence of enrichment for genes previously hypothesized to relate to risk tolerance. This research was carried out under the auspices of the Social Science Genetic Association Consortium. The research was also conducted using the UK Biobank Resource under application number 11425. The study was supported by funding from the Ragnar Söderberg Foundation (E9/11 and E42/15); the Swedish Research Council (421-2013-1061); the Jan Wallander and Tom Hedelius Foundation; an ERC Consolidator Grant to Philipp Koellinger (647648 EdGe); the Pershing Square Fund of the Foundations of Human Behavior; the Open Philanthropy Project; the National Institute on Aging, National Institutes of Health through grants P01-AG005842, P01-AG005842-20S2, P30-AG012810, and T32-AG000186-23 to the National Bureau of Economic Research and R01-AG042568-02 to the University of Southern California; the government of Canada through Genome Canada and the Ontario Genomics Institute (OGI-152); and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. We thank the International Cannabis Consortium, the eQTLgen Consortium, and the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium for sharing summary statistics from the GWAS of lifetime cannabis use, eQTL summary statistics, and summary statistics from the GWAS of ADHD, respectively. A full list of acknowledgments is provided in the Supplementary Note.

For the SNPs taken together, we found evidence of heterogeneous effects across environments. The SNPs implicate genes involved in brain-development processes and neuron-to-neuron communication. In a separate analysis of the X chromosome, we identify 10 independent genome-wide-significant SNPs and estimate a SNP heritability of around 0.3% in both men and women, consistent with partial dosage compensation. A joint (multi-phenotype) analysis of educational attainment and three related cognitive phenotypes generates polygenic scores that explain 11-13% of the variance in educational attainment and 7-10% of the variance in cognitive performance. This prediction accuracy substantially increases the utility of polygenic scores as tools in research.

16. SSGAC Risk Tolerance: GWAS and MTAG Polygenic Scores (Ver 1.0)

Author

Beauchamp, Jonathan P. and Karlsson Linnér, Richard

Abstract

Introduction. Karlsson Linnér et al.1 conducted genome-wide association analyses of general risk tolerance (n = 975,353), adventurousness and risky behaviors in the driving, drinking, smoking and sexual domains. In separate hold-out cohorts, they analyzed the predictive power of polygenic scores derived from the genome-wide association study (GWAS) estimates. Due to data access restrictions, it is not possible to release summary statistics for more than 10,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Therefore, researchers with access to the individual-level genotype data cannot reproduce the polygenic scores that were used in the paper from publicly available summary statistics (https://www.thessgac.org/data). As a partial remedy, we are releasing the polygenic scores that were used in the paper’s prediction analyses in the Add Health and UKB-siblings cohorts to researchers (but due to the restrictions, we cannot release the underlying SNP-level weights themselves).

Abstract

A positive relationship between brain volume and intelligence has been suspected since the 19th century, and empirical studies seem to support this hypothesis. However, this claim is controversial because of concerns about publication bias and the lack of systematic control for critical confounding factors (e.g., height, population structure). We conducted a preregistered study of the relationship between brain volume and cognitive performance using a new sample of adults from the United Kingdom that is about 70% larger than the combined samples of all previous investigations on this subject (N = 13,608). Our analyses systematically controlled for sex, age, height, socioeconomic status, and population structure, and our analyses were free of publication bias. We found a robust association between total brain volume and fluid intelligence (r =.19), which is consistent with previous findings in the literature after controlling for measurement quality of intelligence in our data. We also found a positive relationship between total brain volume and educational attainment (r =.12). These relationships were mainly driven by gray matter (rather than white matter or fluid volume), and effect sizes were similar for both sexes and across age groups.

Abstract

Humans vary substantially in their willingness to take risks. In a combined sample of over one million individuals, we conducted genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of general risk tolerance, adventurousness, and risky behaviors in the driving, drinking, smoking, and sexual domains. We identified 611 approximately independent genetic loci associated with at least one of our phenotypes, including 124 with general risk tolerance. We report evidence of substantial shared genetic influences across general risk tolerance and risky behaviors: 72 of the 124 general risk tolerance loci contain a lead SNP for at least one of our other GWAS, and general risk tolerance is moderately to strongly genetically correlated (|rˆg| ~ 0.25 to 0.50) with a range of risky behaviors. Bioinformatics analyses imply that genes near general-risk-tolerance-associated SNPs are highly expressed in brain tissues and point to a role for glutamatergic and GABAergic neurotransmission. We find no evidence of enrichment for genes previously hypothesized to relate to risk tolerance.

Abstract

Uppsatsen behandlar begagnade livförsäkringar och de implikationer som dessa kan komma att innebära för den svenska livförsäkringsmarknaden i framtiden. Syftet med uppsatsen är att analysera vinsterna och riskerna med marknaden för begagnade livförsäkringar i Sverige och utifrån detta resultat utvärdera vad reglerare av marknaden måste betänka. I uppsatsen avses med livförsäkringar enbart livförsäkringar med dödsfallsbelopp. Vi visar på hur livförsäkringar traditionellt är uppbyggda och hur livförsäkringspremiernas storlek bestäms. En bakgrund ges till den svenska försäkringsmarknaden och dess grundläggande principer samt den förändring som branschen genomgår och hur denna kan tänkas resultera i att ett större intresse för handel med livförsäkringar uppstår för både försäkrade och investerare. En jämförelse görs med den amerikanska livförsäkringsmarknaden för att få en uppfattning om riktningen som marknadskrafter kan tänkas föra en oreglerad marknad mot. Handeln med begagnade livförsäkringar är där väl utbredd och debatten kring dess konsekvenser för individer och livförsäkringsbranschen är omfattande. Uppsatsen finner att andrahandsmarknaden gör att livförsäkringar som redan tecknats blir en ren finansiell tillgång och att klassiska marknadsinslag som värdepapperisering är en tänkbar utveckling. Situationen i USA visar också att tillåtande av en andrahandsmarknad riskerar att leda till att livförsäkringar tecknas även för individer som inte utnyttjar dessa ur trygghetssynpunkt. Studien utnyttjar amerikansk forskning på området som underlag för vidare diskussion för andrahandsmarknadens konsekvenser. Hälsoförändringars påverkan på det förväntade värdet av ett livförsäkringskontrakt analyseras och de situationer där en försäljning av livförsäkringskontrakt är lönsam för den försäkrade och investerare diskuteras. Uppsatsen tar upp anledningar till att information kan fördelas asymmetriskt mellan aktörer och analyserar vilka konsekvenser detta kan få. Vi finner att bättre kännedom om individens hälsotillstånd leder till större vinster genom andrahandsmarknaden men att aktörer av olika anledningar kan vara förhindrade att utnyttja denna information. Uppsatsen analyserar hur olika aktörer påverkas av andrahandsmarknaden för livförsäkringar. Vi finner att vinnarna är investerare, mellanhänder och de individer som förlorat anledningen att behålla sina livförsäkringskontrakt. Livförsäkringsföretagen förlorar alltid på marknaden. Huruvida försäkringstagarkollektivet som helhet vinner eller förlorar genom andrahandsmarknaden beror på de antaganden som ligger till grund för livförsäkringspremiernas storlek. Marknadens storlek och dess betydelse för transaktionskostnader diskuteras, liksom olika moraliska aspekter av handel med begagnade livförsäkringar. Uppsatsen diskuterar också de samhällsrisker som är förenade med att aktörer kan vinna på individers död. Uppsatsen finner att begagnade livförsäkringar i vissa fall är önskvärt för samhället men att marknaden måste regleras hårt för att förhindra orättvisor och svaga positioner för de försäkrade. Höga kostnader kan uppstå både för reglering och för inhämtande av information för marknadens aktörer. Slutligen lyfter uppsatsen fram ett antal aspekter som reglerare av andrahandsmarknaden för livförsäkringar måste betänka.

Paige

Abstract

Failures of self-control can manifest as externalizing behaviors (e.g., aggression, rule-breaking) that have far-reaching negative consequences. Researchers have long been interested in measuring children’s genetic risk for externalizing behaviors to inform efforts at early identification and intervention. Drawing on data from the Environmental Risk Longitudinal Twin Study (N= 862 twins) and the Millennium Cohort Study (N= 2,824 parent–child trios), two longitudinal cohorts from the United Kingdom, we leveraged molecular genetic data and within-family designs to test for genetic associations with externalizing behavior that are not affected by common sources of environmental influence. We found that a polygenic index (PGI) calculated from genetic variants discovered in previous studies of self-controlled behavior in adults captures direct genetic effects on externalizing problems in children and adolescents when evaluated with rigorous within-family designs (βs = 0.13–0.19 across development). The PGI for externalizing behavior can usefully augment psychological studies of the development of self-control.

Abstract

Low socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with earlier onset of age-related chronic conditions and reduced life-expectancy, but the underlying biomolecular mechanisms remain unclear. Evidence of DNA-methylation differences by SES suggests a possible association of SES with epigenetic age acceleration (AA). We investigated the association of SES with AA in more than 5,000 individuals belonging to three independent prospective cohorts from Italy, Australia, and Ireland. Low SES was associated with greater AA (β = 0.99 years; 95% CI 0.39,1.59; p = 0.002; comparing extreme categories). The results were consistent across different SES indicators. The associations were only partially modulated by the unhealthy lifestyle habits of individuals with lower SES. Individuals who experienced life-course SES improvement had intermediate AA compared to extreme SES categories, suggesting reversibility of the effect and supporting the relative importance of the early childhood social environment. Socioeconomic adversity is associated with accelerated epigenetic aging, implicating biomolecular mechanisms that may link SES to age-related diseases and longevity.

Abstract

Background: Substantial data support a heritable basis for supraventricular tachycardias, but the genetic determinants and molecular mechanisms of these arrhythmias are poorly understood. We sought to identify genetic loci associated with atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) and atrioventricular accessory pathways or atrioventricular reciprocating tachycardia (AVAPs/AVRT)., Methods: We performed multiancestry meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies to identify genetic loci for AVNRT (4 studies) and AVAP/AVRT (7 studies). We assessed evidence supporting the potential causal effects of candidate genes by analyzing relations between associated variants and cardiac gene expression, performing transcriptome-wide analyses, and examining prior genome-wide association studies., Results: Analyses comprised 2384 AVNRT cases and 106 489 referents, and 2811 AVAP/AVRT cases and 1,483 093 referents. We identified 2 significant loci for AVNRT, which implicate NKX2-5 and TTN as disease susceptibility genes. A transcriptome-wide association analysis supported an association between reduced predicted cardiac expression of NKX2-5 and AVNRT. We identified 3 significant loci for AVAP/AVRT, which implicate SCN5A , SCN10A , and TTN/CCDC141 . Variant associations at several loci have been previously reported for cardiac phenotypes, including atrial fibrillation, stroke, Brugada syndrome, and electrocardiographic intervals., Conclusions: Our findings highlight gene regions associated with ion channel function (AVAP/AVRT), as well as cardiac development and the sarcomere (AVAP/AVRT and AVNRT) as important potential effectors of supraventricular tachycardia susceptibility., Competing Interests: Disclosures Dr Lubitz is a full-time employee of Novartis as of July 2022.
