Nature research paper: Rare genetic variants confer a high risk of ADHD and implicate neuronal biology

Rare genetic variants confer a high risk of ADHD and implicate neuronal biology - Nature
An analysis of rare genetic variants identifies three genes—MAP1A, ANO8 and ANK2—that have a role in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and investigates the potential underlying biological mechanisms.

Polygenic and developmental profiles of autism differ by age at diagnosis - Nature
A study of several longitudinal birth cohorts and cross-sectional cohorts finds only moderate overlap in genetic variants between autism that is diagnosed earlier and that diagnosed later, so they may represent aetiologically different conditions.

📄New study from the Demontis group just out in JAMA Psychiatry:

Genetics significantly affects risk of exposure to childhood maltreatment (CM) across individuals with ADHD, autism, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression.

Using national registry data from Denmark, 30 maternal diagnoses linked to offspring autism were identified with most associations attributable to family-level factors rather than direct causal effects of maternal diagnoses, according to a paper in Nature Medicine. 🧪
