Pleased to share our new preprint on the 1st large-scale GWAS meta-analysis of panic attacks and panic disorder 👇
Excited about our new preprint: 1st successful genome-wide study of >61,000 panic attack and 29,000 panic disorder cases. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1... We find 17 associations & evidence that peripheral neurons in eye, lungs and heart are involved in panic & other psychiatric disorders 1/n

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!
Very pleased to see our paper describing the @ukbiobank.bsky.social second online mental health questionnaire has now been published in @plosone.org! This describes the origin of the resource as well as the data.
Fantastic work by Katrina Davis in leading this 👏👏👏

Thanks also to the coding team (see next bleet) who put together the algorithms for this work, which can be found here: github.com/ColemanResea... (as well as a mirror on the DATAMIND GitHub)
(RAP-friendly implementation is a work in progress...!)

2/n Which #anxiety disorders were included & how were they measured?
✅ 5 major anxiety disorders: ‘any anxiety’ approach captures shared genetics across disorder cluster
📝 Anxiety can be measured in different ways: tested heterogeneity across assessment methods & found strong genetic overlap
