Our new preprint led by Mihaela-Diana Zanoaga is out! Leveraging UK Biobank, VA Research #MillionVeteranProgram, and FinnGen, we investigated the relationships linking #anxiety disorders and symptoms to #brain structure and function. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Genome-wide association studies and cross-population meta-analyses investigating short and long sleep duration led by Isabelle is now online Nature Communications - UCL King's College London Yale Psychiatry. Article here: bit.ly/3RBPkJg Sumstats here: bit.ly/3ZBHoKa


Our new study led by @GitaPathakPhD and Kritika Singh is out on JAMA Psychiatry! Leveraging UK Biobank, Vanderbilt Health #BioVU, VA Research #MVP, Mass General Brigham biobank, and University of Michigan #MGI, we demonstrated #PTSD impact on multiple circulatory and respiratory outcomes. jamanetwork.com/journals/jamap…


Our new article led by Mihaela-Diana Zanoaga is out on Biological Psychiatry! Leveraging UK Biobank, FinnGen, and VA Research, we identified generalizable effects linking changes in #brain structure and function to #anxiety disorders and symptoms. Yale Psychiatry sciencedirect.com/science/articl…


Our first 2024 preprint led by Elena Friligkou is out! We conducted a multi-ancestry #anxiety GWAS of 1.2 million participants combining UK Biobank, AllofUsResearch, FinnGen, PGC Consortium, #iPSYCH and VA Research #MVP. Many novel loci and mechanisms! medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Another new study led by Brenda Cabrera Mendoza is on Nature Human Behaviour! Using PGC Consortium, VA Research, and UK Biobank, we assessed assortative mating, participation bias, and SES effect on behavioral PRS. Big thanks to Loïc Yengo for working with us on this! nature.com/articles/s4156…




Our new article led by Jun He is out on Brain! Combining #GWAS with imaging data available from UK Biobank, we explored sex differences linking #brain structure ad function with #hearing problems in adults. Yale Psychiatry academic.oup.com/brain/advance-…


Our new preprint led by Jun He is out! Using UK Biobank and AllofUsResearch, we characterized sex-specific effects of sociocultural factors when assessing the family history of #alzheimer's disease due to reporting, recalling, and surviving biases medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our new study led by Elena Friligkou is on Nature Genetics! Analyzing 1.2M participants, we uncovered genes and biological processes involved in #anxiety risk. Big thanks to current and former #PolimanTEAM members for contributing to this group effort! nature.com/articles/s4158…


Attending #ASHG2024? Take a look at our latest work! On Thursday, Jun He will present a symptom-level analysis of Gulf War Illness and David Davtian will show our transcriptomic analyses of COVID-19. On Friday, check out the GWAS of anxiety disorders led by Elena Friligkou



Don't miss this episode with Renato Polimanti, a human geneticist who recently identified 100+ genes associated with anxiety. He covered how he got started in #science, overcoming the toughest period of his career, life outside the lab, & more. peoplebehindthescience.com/dr-renato-poli… Wu Tsai Institute | Yale University


Our new study led by Dora Koller is out on JAMA Psychiatry! Through analyses using UK Biobank and FinnGen, we assessed the relationships between #endometriosis, #trauma, and #PTSD, uncovering independent links with contact traumas and polygenic risk. jamanetwork.com/journals/jamap…

🚨Our new study, led by Jun He, is out on Alzheimer's & Dementia Journals! Leveraging UK Biobank and AllofUsResearch, we uncovered sex-specific effects of socioeconomic factors and cognitive performance on the assessment of #alzheimers family history. alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/al…
