Research Attitudes Questionnaire scores and retention in a recruitment registry.

J Alzheimers Dis

January 2025

Institute for Memory Impairments and Neurological Disorders, University of California, Irvine, Irvine, CA, USA.

Background: Recruitment registries are maximally effective when registrants are retained to the point of referral. The Research Attitudes Questionnaire (RAQ) has previously been shown to predict research participation behaviors, including Alzheimer's disease clinical trial completion.

Objective: To test the hypothesis that RAQ score is associated with retention behaviors in a local recruitment registry.

Different faces of autism: Patients with mutations in and genes.

Acta Neurobiol Exp (Wars)

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is among the most common neurodevelopmental conditions in humans. While public awareness of the challenges faced by individuals with autism is steadily increasing, the underlying causes of abnormalities observed in ASD remains incompletely understood. The autism spectrum is notably broad, with symptoms that can manifest in various forms and degrees of severity.

Transferability of Single- and Cross-Tissue Transcriptome Imputation Models Across Ancestry Groups.

Genet Epidemiol

January 2025

Centre for Genetics and Genomics Versus Arthritis, Centre for Musculoskeletal Research, Division of Musculoskeletal and Dermatological Sciences, The University of Manchester, Manchester, UK.

Transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) investigate the links between genetically regulated gene expression and complex traits. TWAS involves imputing gene expression using expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) as predictors and testing the association between the imputed expression and the trait. The effectiveness of TWAS depends on the accuracy of these imputation models, which require genotype and gene expression data from the same samples.

Polygenic risk for depression and resting-state functional connectivity of subgenual anterior cingulate cortex in young adults.

Li); the Wu Tsai Institute, Yale University, New Haven, Conn., USA (C.-S. Li).

Background: Genetic variants may confer risk for depression by modulating brain structure and function; evidence has underscored the key role of the subgenual anterior cingulate cortex (sgACC) in depression. We sought to examine how the resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) of the sgACC was associated with polygenic risk for depression in a subclinical population.

Methods: Following published protocols, we computed seed-based whole-brain sgACC rsFC and calculated polygenic risk scores (PRS) using data from healthy young adults from the Human Connectome Project.
