(Alzheimer's disease update to be added this evening - computer died due to lack of power sockets)
Anxiety - come to the anxiety disorder symposium on Wednesday 1015 to find out what progress has been made! #WCPG2020
ADHD: New GWAS earlier this year on medarxiv medrxiv.org/content/10.110…. Lots of insights, especially into biology and role of cognition (expanding into cognition sub group) #WCPG2022
ASD: much advance this year, including numerous secondary analysis papers. New GWAS freeze in progress. Hear more in ASD Oral session on Wednesday #WCPG2022
Bipolar disorder: new multi ancestry GWAS, considerable increase in GWS hits. See bipolar meeting on Wednesday. Also examining subphenotypes via clinician-led effort. Hoping to coordinate more with imaging and sequencing efforts in future. #wcpg2022
CNVs: @sebatlab highlights numerous papers and presentations across the conference. Expanded and expanding across disorders. Seeing associations, somewhat differing across disorders. CNVs and rare variants across all disorders, esp. functionally constrained genes #WCPG2022
Eating disorders: @psychgenomics updates on ongoing freezes for anorexia and binge eating (see Wednesday symposium), as well as strong contributions from secondary analyses. Policy work to increase priority for eating disorders. Other psych phenos available! #WCPG2022
@cathrynlewis and @mcintosh2001 for MDD: new GWAS, large increase in GWS hits giving biological and stuff insights. Transancestry work from @KKuchenbaecker demonstrating genomic differences across ancestries. Expanding into epigenetic analyses. #WCPG2022
