Out earlier this week in @natgenet.nature.com: GWAS of major anxiety disorders in 122,341 European-ancestry cases identifying 58 loci (www.nature.com/articles/s41...)
Awesome work, and great news for the anx genetics community — each @pgcgenetics.bsky.social paper seeds 100s more papers!
💡🎓"How do domestic abuse and childhood maltreatment impact psychological therapy outcomes? Mixed methods research using longitudinal cohort datasets." Excited to be advertising this #MRC #PhD at King's College London, supervised by Dr @roxannekeynejad.bsky.social, Prof Thalia Eley, & me! Link below
Delighted to see the preprint up for our genome-wide meta-analysis of panic attack and panic disorder 🎉 This was a solid team effort!
(2/2) In a preprint led by @megsk.bsky.social @thaliaeley.bsky.social in @gladstudy.bsky.social, GWASs of #functionalimpairment, anxiety, and depressive symptoms revealed high genetic correlations, suggesting symptom measures may detect most of the genetics of functional impairment. 🔍 osf.io/4d6ju
Check out our new paper on the second UKB mental health questionnaire! Was a pleasure to work on the coding team (incl. new additions of panic disorder & panic attack algorithms with @megsk.bsky.social). Thanks for leading @katrinadavis.bsky.social & coding lead @jonicoleman.bsky.social!
Two weeks ago we had an amazing Social Science and Genetics conference in Oslo! Now that I had time to recover, I wanted to recall and reflect on some of the *ethical and social impacts* discussed during the conference. 🧵 /13
