📢 New publication in @nathumbehav.nature.com 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.
Come work with me and @dr-appie.bsky.social in Amsterdam!
Great new preprint by the @pgcgenetics.bsky.social Suicide Working Group, investigating shared and distinct genetic contributions to different suicidality phenotypes!!!

There is high symptom and genetic overlap across psychiatric conditions. @andrewgrotzinger.bsky.social et al. (2025) explored this using our #GWAS data of over 1 mil cases across 14 conditions. They assessed the genetic architecture and the functional roles of genes across these conditions.
