🎉 Our new GWAS of anxiety symptom severity is out today in Nature Human Behaviour! It's been wonderful working on this one as part of the core analyst team, and making the infographics for the @PGCgenetics thread below 👇
📢 New publication in @NatureHumBehav from the PGC Anxiety Working Group: the largest GWAS of generalised anxiety symptoms to date, analysing ~700k across 14 cohorts. We found 74 genome-wide significant loci, 39 novel for anxiety.

📢 Our GWAS meta-analysis of anxiety disorders is now published in Nature Genetics! Was a pleasure putting together these posts shared from the @PGCgenetics account to showcase this exciting milestone in anxiety genomics 👇
🧵 New publication from the PGC Anxiety Working Group. Our GWAS meta-analysis of anxiety disorders is now published in @NatureGenet! 🔗: doi.org/10.1038/s41588-025-0…

Pleased to share our new preprint on the 1st large-scale GWAS meta-analysis of panic attacks and panic disorder 👇
18 Jun 2025
Our panic GWAS meta-analysis is now up as a preprint on @medrxivpreprint. We looked at both panic attacks (N case >61,000) and panic disorder (N>29,000) and found the first GWS genetic loci for both (16 and 7 respectively)

1/n 🧵 Anxiety disorder GWAS from the PGC Anxiety working group (@no_strom et al 2024 pre-print): Genome-wide association study of major anxiety disorders in 122,341 European-ancestry cases identifies 58 loci and highlights GABAergic signaling

2/n Which #anxiety disorders were included & how were they measured?
✅ 5 anxiety disorders: any anxiety approach captures shared genetics across disorders
📝Anxiety can be measured in different ways: tested heterogeneity across assessment methods & found strong genetic overlap

@ISPGnet members, watch out for the recording of this symposia session on "Science Communication" organised by the @PGCgenetics outreach committee 👇🏽 @SFatumo, other panellists exposed the proper use of language in communicating our research and mediums to explore 👏🏽 #WCPG2024🇸🇬

Just gave my talk at d #WCPG2024 in Singapore on bridging linguistic & cultural divides in psychiatric genomics
The Uganda Genome Resource offers a great model for inclusive, global research. Let’s ensure all populations are represented in genomics!

Come visit my poster (P18.040.C) today at ESHG, 1-2pm #ESHG2024
I’m happy to discuss all things bullying victimisation, its associations and correlations with psychiatric and associated traits using genetically informed designs 🧬

This is important! Please retweet. Many researchers have asked us to have a control comparison group recruited the same way and with the same measures. If you have never exerienced mental illness or ill-health, please consider that your contribution could help those that do!
2 Apr 2024
The #GLADStudy is now also recruiting participants who DO NOT have a history of a mental health condition!
Please RT to get the word out!
More info in the🧵⤵️ and at gladstudy.org.uk
ALT The image has the logo for the Genetic Links to Anxiety & Depression Study on top with the text, "Now recruiting control participants." There are two sets of figures, one in yellow and the other in blue, with "VS" in the middle.

(1/3)🧬Can genetics of functional impairment be captured by #anxiety symptom severity measures? Despite its role in diagnosis and importance to patients, functional impairment is often overlooked in research & shows only moderate phenotypic correlations with anxiety symptoms
