De novo variants in genes regulating stress granule assembly associate with neurodevelopmental disorders

Xiangbin Jia et al.

Summary: This study reports a newly identified neurodevelopmental disorder and suggests the importance of stress granules (SGs) in its pathology. By studying mice and analyzing data from a large number of patients, the researchers found that genetic variants in genes related to SGs were associated with the disorder. These findings provide significant insights into the underlying mechanisms of neurodevelopmental disorders.

Large-scale GWAS reveals genetic architecture of brain white matter microstructure and genetic overlap with cognitive and mental health traits (n=17,706)

Bingxin Zhao et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the genetic architecture of 110 tract-based DTI parameters and conducted GWAS to identify novel genetic variants associated with white matter tracts. Results suggested a highly polygenic architecture of genetic influence across the genome, with enrichment of genetic effects for active SNPs annotated by central nervous system cells. GWAS identified 213 significant SNPs associated with 90 DTI parameters, and gene-based association study prioritized 112 significant genes, many of which are novel and have implications for cognitive and mental health traits.

A MYT1L syndrome mouse model recapitulates patient phenotypes and reveals altered brain development due to disrupted neuronal maturation

Jiayang Chen et al.

Summary: A new neurodevelopmental syndrome caused by loss-of-function mutations in the MYT1L gene has been defined, with a haploinsufficient mouse model mimicking common clinical phenotypes. Disrupted gene expression and precocious neuronal differentiation were identified as mechanisms for microcephaly during brain development, while failure of transcriptional and chromatin maturation was discovered in adults, resulting in disruptions in baseline physiological properties of neurons. Behavioral anomalies, including hyperactivity, muscle weakness, and social alterations, were observed, with more severe phenotypes in males.

Structural and functional connectivity mapping of the human corpus callosum organization with white-matter functional networks

Pan Wang et al.

Summary: This study identified the structural and functional connectivity between the human corpus callosum and various WM-FNs using data from 108 healthy subjects. Results showed unique spatial distribution patterns of the corpus callosum connecting to different WM-FNs, while also illustrating important differences between structural and functional connectivity mapping.

Genome-wide association study of more than 40,000 bipolar disorder cases provides new insights into the underlying biology

Niamh Mullins et al.

Summary: A genome-wide association study of 41,917 bipolar disorder cases and 371,549 controls of European ancestry revealed 64 associated genomic loci, enriched in genes related to synaptic signaling pathways and brain-expressed genes. The study also identified potential therapeutic leads and drug targets, highlighting the complex genetic correlations between bipolar disorder subtypes and providing insights into the disorder's etiology.
