Abstract
While the longitudinal aspect of mental disorders is critical for investigating disease mechanisms and improving treatment, psychiatric genetics have mostly focused on cross-sectional data. Longitudinal datasets from diverse ancestries are paramount to make progress in understanding mental health and illnesses. Availability of trajectories of phenotypes covering premorbid and prodromal stages, and the course of illnesses, coupled with genetics and other biological material will enable us to chart how mental disorders develop, characterize resilience and treatment, allow population stratification, and pave the way for early detection.
This session will present four large diverse longitudinal datasets covering the lifespan – from childhood to old age. The presenters will describe the datasets and new methods developed to take advantage of the longitudinal aspects, and novel results highlighting the opportunities for the field.
Dr. Parekh will introduce the Norwegian Mother, Father and Child Cohort Study (MoBa), an ongoing study following children from birth. This talk will present FEMA (and FEMA-GWAS) statistical methods for longitudinal data and present results that highlight longitudinal, time dependent genetic effects.
Ms. Smith will introduce the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study, an ongoing study on adolescents in the United States. This talk will showcase multimodal imaging-genetics results using FEMA as well as shared resources that will allow any investigator to perform real-time analyses in the ABCD Study.
Dr. Viswanath will introduce the Centre for Brain and Mind (CBM) - Accelerator program for Discovery in Brain disorders using Stem cells (ADBS), an ongoing study on adults in India. This talk will highlight the opportunities and present results linking neuroimaging and rare damaging variants in patients with psychiatric illnesses.
Dr. Namba will introduce the BioBank Japan (BBJ), an ongoing study with extensive registry, biological, laboratory examinations, and other information across a wide range of 47 diseases across the lifespan. This talk will showcase ongoing studies of genetic risk variants, and present opportunities for ongoing collaborative endeavors towards precision medicine.
Dr. Parker, the symposium discussant, will discuss how these lifespan datasets can be integrated and used to generate insights to advance our understanding of the neurobiology of psychiatric illnesses and the goals of precision psychiatry. We will conclude the symposium with remarks on how diverse lifespan datasets can provide valuable knowledge and provide novel opportunities for the field.
期刊介绍：
European Neuropsychopharmacology is the official publication of the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ECNP). In accordance with the mission of the College, the journal focuses on clinical and basic science contributions that advance our understanding of brain function and human behaviour and enable translation into improved treatments and enhanced public health impact in psychiatry. Recent years have been characterized by exciting advances in basic knowledge and available experimental techniques in neuroscience and genomics. However, clinical translation of these findings has not been as rapid. The journal aims to narrow this gap by promoting findings that are expected to have a major impact on both our understanding of the biological bases of mental disorders and the development and improvement of treatments, ideally paving the way for prevention and recovery.
