Associations between antagonistic SNPs for neuropsychiatric disorders and human brain structure.
Article in Translational psychiatry, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
A previously published genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis across eight neuropsychiatric disorders identified antagonistic single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at eleven genomic loci where the same allele was protective against one neuropsychiatric disorder and increased the risk for another. Until now, these antagonistic SNPs have not been further investigated regarding their link to brain structural phenotypes. Here, we explored their associations with cortical surface area and cortical thickness (in 34 brain regions and one global measure each) as well as the volumes of eight subcortical structures using summary statistics of large-scale GWAS of brain structural phenotypes. We assessed if significantly associated brain structural phenotypes were previously reported to be associated with major neuropsychiatric disorders in large-scale case-control imaging studies by the ENIGMA consortium. We further characterized the effects of the antagonistic SNPs on gene expression in brain tissue and their association with additional cognitive and behavioral phenotypes, and performed an exploratory voxel-based whole-brain analysis in the FOR2107 study (n = 754 patients with major depressive disorder and n = 847 controls). We found that eight antagonistic SNPs were significantly associated with brain structural phenotypes in regions such as anterior parts of the cingulate cortex, the insula, and the superior temporal gyrus. Case-control differences in implicated brain structural phenotypes have previously been reported for bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, and schizophrenia. In addition, antagonistic SNPs were associated with gene expression changes in brain tissue and linked to several cognitive-behavioral traits. In our exploratory whole-brain analysis, we observed significant associations of gray matter volume in the left superior temporal pole and left superior parietal region with the variants rs301805 and rs1933802, respectively. Our results suggest that multiple antagonistic SNPs for neuropsychiatric disorders are linked to brain structural phenotypes. However, to further elucidate these findings, future case-control genomic imaging studies are required.
