Our new findings from the PGC Bipolar working group published today: great team work!

11/n For more on this #depression GWAS meta-analysis: - Full paper: https://t.co/1CYwbcEg6z - Sumstats: https://t.co/0NgJmx3MRR

Delighted to be awarded #msca postdoc fellowship by @MSCActions to study genetics of human development at @SFFNORMENT with @oleaandreassen. Big thanks to @UniOslo @DvdM33r @ParekhPravesh for the support.

Important study by @MarkosTesfaye1 and colleagues at NORMENT that sheds new light on the connection between the brain and our gut @JaholkowskiP @guyhindley @nadine_parker3 @olavsmeland @oleaandreassen https://t.co/fwKxYojS0s

@KevinOC87, @FreiOleksandr, @oleaandreassen, @ShahramBahrami5, @WeiqiuCheng, #AlexeyShadrin, @BenHolen, @SrdjanDjurovic and more. We applied advanced statistical methods to the largest available GWAS summary statistics of irritable bowel syndrome, and psychiatric & GI disorders

🚨 Excited to share my first post-doc paper at @SFFNORMENT co-first authored with @WeiqiuCheng. We investigated the genetic relationship between cannabis use, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder.🧬🧠 Link to paper https://t.co/npaWisxmn0 in @TheLancetPsych 🧵1/7

Genetic liability for both affective spectrum disorder and major psychiatric disorders was associated w symptoms of premenstrual disorders, indicating that premenstrual disorders have overlapping genetic foundations w major psychiatric disorders.

New paper alert! Multimodal AD biomarker integration of polygenic hazard scores, imaging & memory optimizes prediction of conversion from MCI to AD and may streamline clinical trial screening. Huge collaborative effort, with too many to acknowledge here!

Many congratulations also to the winners of the Nansen Award for Outstanding Science to @oleaandreassen and Nansen Awards for younger scientists to #KathrineVLøken and #NinaHolden - given out by @lie_einar at the @DNVA1 General Assembly meeting.

On March 27, we will run the 4-day online course "Genome-Wide Association Studies: Why, How and then What?" The course primarily targets PhD students at @UniOslo_MED (3 ECTS), but is open to everyone interested. Please RT!

Happy to share our recent review in World Psychiatry @WPA_Psychiatry on new insights into psychiatric genetics. A privilege to write with @oleaandreassen, @guyhindley and @FreiOleksandr. https://t.co/JqkXvA0LkJ

Genetic overlap between mental disorders and related traits 🧬 @guyhindley and @olavsmeland are interviewed by @apollonUiO about their recent study published in Am J Psychiatry 👉 https://t.co/FXczcLmRY3

If you haven’t had the chance yet, come check out our poster at #NSHGPM2022 today! Using ConjFDR, We identified 40 genetic risk loci w/ mixed effect directions, jointly associated w/ epilepsies and psych disorders, @NordicPrecMed @SFFNORMENT @olavsmeland

Happy to share our new paper in @molpsychiatry🥳! We found: 1) subcortical volumes share substantial SNPs with schizophrenia, 2) shared genes are enriched in neurodevelopmental processes, and 3) two genes are associated with thalamic volume in childhood. https://t.co/C8WLBgtg5h

Finally huge thank you to all co-authors, especially @OleksandrFrei, @olavsmeland and @oleaandreassen along w @WeiqiuCheng, @nadine_parker3, @dthroelfs, @BenHolen & others, the 100Ks of participants who contributed their time & data, and @APAPubJournals for publishing it!

🚨Really excited to see this finally out! 🧬Most common genetic variants associated with mental disorders are also associated with others, as well as with cognitive & personality traits. 🧠Conceptual insights on the genetics of mental disorders inbound... https://t.co/5ve3brU1vA

New research on depression & cardiac #disease: Torgersen et al find overlap of genetic variants tied to increased risk of #depression w/ BMI & systolic blood pressure @nadine_parker3 @guyhindley @olavsmeland @john_munkhaugen @oleaandreassen @SFFNORMENT https://t.co/pmOy7Z3GLH

It was a true honor to be watch my colleague, mentor, and friend receive the Olav Thon Foundation prize in Oslo. Congratulations, Anders Dale! @UCSanDiego @UCSDHealth @UCSDImaging @UCSDNeuro More info and photos in thread. 1/

Anders Dale received the Olav Thon Foundation international award in mathematics/natural sciences and medicine for his decades of innovation in neuroimaging and genetics 2/

Nå skal forskere fra @UniOslo og @Folkehelseinst sammen med kollegaer i Nord-Europa undersøke videre på sammenhengen mellom mentale og fysiske symptomer. https://t.co/G4sGfZXjzt @SFFNORMENT
