(2/2) In a preprint led by @megsk.bsky.social @thaliaeley.bsky.social in @gladstudy.bsky.social, GWASs of #functionalimpairment, anxiety, and depressive symptoms revealed high genetic correlations, suggesting symptom measures may detect most of the genetics of functional impairment. 🔍 osf.io/4d6ju

Researchers have found #genetic factors that may make people more or less sensitive to the environments they experience.

It is the largest genetics study of identical #twins to date.
