SHARED GENETIC RISK FOR INTERNALIZING AND EXTERNALIZING DISORDERS IN MEXICAN ADOLESCENTS: THE MODERATING EFFECT OF ADVERSITY
Internalizing (INT) and externalizing (EXT) disorders are heritable conditions that frequently co-occur. Large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have enhanced our understanding of the polygenic architecture of these disorders; yet genetic factors associated with their comorbidity remain unclear. Here, we leverage large-scale GWAS summary statistics on INT and EXT (Thorp et al., 2021; Karlsson Linnér et al., 2021) to examine the association of shared and unique genetic liability for INT and EXT disorders in relation to phenotypic comorbidity, and explored whether childhood adversity, a well-established risk factor for these disorders moderated these associations. Participants were Mexican adolescents (n=1,134 evaluated within the framework of an epidemiological study with the Composite International Diagnostic Interview. Genomic structural equation modeling (gSEM) was used to identify common vs. unique variance associated with INT, EXT, and comorbidity of these traits. Polygenic risk scores (PGS) were subsequently created based on these results. Model fit indices supported a bifactor gSEM model (AIC = 750.978, CFI = 0.973, SRMR = 0.052) comprised of a General Psychopathology (GP) factor influencing all traits and orthogonal specific factors for externalizing and internalizing traits. The GP-PGS was significantly associated with EXT (OR = 1.3, p < 0.001) and comorbid INT-EXT (OR = 1.42, p < 0.000) outcomes. Adversities, such as parental psychopathology and neglect/abuse were associated with greater risk for all psychiatric outcomes (p < 0.001), while Parental Loss (p < 0.001) was specifically associated with EXT disorders (p < 0.000). A significant interaction was identified between GP-PGS and Loss adversity in predicting INT disorders (OR = 1.63, p < 0.016), such that the experience of loss adversity was more influential for participants with higher levels of GP genetic liability. Our results indicate the predictive utility of trans-diagnostic, genetically informed models and the importance of considering specific adversities in understanding psychiatric risk for INT and EXT comorbidity.
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.
