A few thoughts on Herasight, the new embryo selection company. First, their whitepaper (drive.google.com/file/d/1EpFi...) implies that competitors like Nucleus have been marketing and selling grossly erroneous risk estimates. This is shocking if true! 🧵

Extremely excited to share the first effort of the Revived Genomics of Personality Consortium: A highly-powered, comprehensive GWAS of the Big Five personality traits in 1.14 million participants from 46 cohorts. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

New paper with @paulhufe.net Astrid Sandsør and Nicolai Borgen 📝
Causal evidence for gene-environment interaction based on:
🧬 Exogenous within-family genetic differences
🏫 Exogenous variation in school value added

Our gene discovery project on age at onset of walking is out today! Find the paper here www.nature.com/articles/s41... Huge thanks to the cohorts, collaborators & coauthors, in particular first author Dr Anna Gui 1/n

New preprint!

We find no evidence that parental mental health influences children's academic achievement when comparing families in the Norwegian MoBa study.

Quick thread 👇

So happy to finally see this paper out in @natcomms.nature.com. rdcu.be/ehQsd “Correcting for volunteer bias in GWAS increases SNP effect sizes and heritability estimates”. A thread on our findings!

Fallende skoleprestasjoner og økt fravær avdekker et skrikende behov for kunnskap for å møte vår tids utfordringer. Til det trenger vi registre fra skoler og barnehager.

New paper by the MoBa PsychGen team on 'direct and indirect genetic effects on early neurodevelopmental traits', led by Laura Hegemann. Now published in JCPP @acamh.bsky.social

with @rosacheesman.bsky.social, @ludvigdb.bsky.social, @bstpourcain.bsky.social et al.

doi.org/10.1111/jcpp...

Super happy to see this great paper by @rutheva.bsky.social, @rosacheesman.bsky.social , Ole Andreassen and myself out now!

Typical sociodemographic research on partnership dissolution has seldom considered individual differences. In this paper, we show with genomic data that they do matter.

NEW: Ruth Eva Jørgensen, Rosa Cheesman, Ole A. Andreassen, Torkild Hovde Lyngstad , "The Genetics of Partnership Dissolution."

Congratulations 🎉

Want to get out of Dodge? Do a postdoc @uio.no! You will be using the MoBa study and registers to study intergenerational transmission and GxE for #MentalHealth and #education using @behaviorgenetic.bsky.social and @pgcgenetics.bsky.social approaches. Please share!

(1/10) Check out our new paper in Nature Communications! “Non-random mating patterns within and across education and mental and somatic health”. In the paper, we study partner similarities before they (were likely to have) met.
