Seasonal variations in environmental exposures at birth or during gestation are associated with numerous adult traits and health outcomes later in life. Whether DNA methylation (DNAm) plays a role in the molecular mechanisms underlying the associations between birth season and lifelong phenotypes remains unclear.Methods
We carried out epigenome-wide meta-analyses within the Pregnancy And Childhood Epigenetic Consortium to identify associations of DNAm with birth season, both at differentially methylated probes (DMPs) and regions (DMRs). Associations were examined at two time points: at birth (21 cohorts, N = 9358) and in children aged 1-11 years (12 cohorts, N = 3610). We conducted meta-analyses to assess the impact of latitude on birth season-specific associations at both time points.Results
We identified associations between birth season and DNAm (False Discovery Rate-adjusted p values < 0.05) at two CpGs at birth (winter-born) and four in the childhood (summer-born) analyses when compared to children born in autumn. Furthermore, we identified twenty-six differentially methylated regions (DMR) at birth (winter-born: 8, spring-born: 15, summer-born: 3) and thirty-two in childhood (winter-born: 12, spring and summer: 10 each) meta-analyses with few overlapping DMRs between the birth seasons or the two time points. The DMRs were associated with genes of known functions in tumorigenesis, psychiatric/neurological disorders, inflammation, or immunity, amongst others. Latitude-stratified meta-analyses [higher (≥ 50°N), lower (< 50°N, northern hemisphere only)] revealed differences in associations between birth season and DNAm by birth latitude. DMR analysis implicated genes with previously reported links to schizophrenia (LAX1), skin disorders (PSORS1C, LTB4R), and airway inflammation including asthma (LTB4R), present only at birth in the higher latitudes (≥ 50°N).Conclusions
In this large epigenome-wide meta-analysis study, we provide evidence for (i) associations between DNAm and season of birth that are unique for the seasons of the year (temporal effect) and (ii) latitude-dependent variations in the seasonal associations (spatial effect). DNAm could play a role in the molecular mechanisms underlying the effect of birth season on adult health outcomes.Item Open Access ENIGMA and global neuroscience: A decade of large-scale studies of the brain in health and disease across more than 40 countries.(Translational psychiatry, 2020-03) Thompson, Paul M; Jahanshad, Neda; Ching, Christopher RK; Salminen, Lauren E; Thomopoulos, Sophia I; Bright, Joanna; Baune, Bernhard T; Bertolín, Sara; Bralten, Janita; Bruin, Willem B; Bülow, Robin; Chen, Jian; Chye, Yann; Dannlowski, Udo; de Kovel, Carolien GF; Donohoe, Gary; Eyler, Lisa T; Faraone, Stephen V; Favre, Pauline; Filippi, Courtney A; Frodl, Thomas; Garijo, Daniel; Gil, Yolanda; Grabe, Hans J; Grasby, Katrina L; Hajek, Tomas; Han, Laura KM; Hatton, Sean N; Hilbert, Kevin; Ho, Tiffany C; Holleran, Laurena; Homuth, Georg; Hosten, Norbert; Houenou, Josselin; Ivanov, Iliyan; Jia, Tianye; Kelly, Sinead; Klein, Marieke; Kwon, Jun Soo; Laansma, Max A; Leerssen, Jeanne; Lueken, Ulrike; Nunes, Abraham; Neill, Joseph O'; Opel, Nils; Piras, Fabrizio; Piras, Federica; Postema, Merel C; Pozzi, Elena; Shatokhina, Natalia; Soriano-Mas, Carles; Spalletta, Gianfranco; Sun, Daqiang; Teumer, Alexander; Tilot, Amanda K; Tozzi, Leonardo; van der Merwe, Celia; Van Someren, Eus JW; van Wingen, Guido A; Völzke, Henry; Walton, Esther; Wang, Lei; Winkler, Anderson M; Wittfeld, Katharina; Wright, Margaret J; Yun, Je-Yeon; Zhang, Guohao; Zhang-James, Yanli; Adhikari, Bhim M; Agartz, Ingrid; Aghajani, Moji; Aleman, André; Althoff, Robert R; Altmann, Andre; Andreassen, Ole A; Baron, David A; Bartnik-Olson, Brenda L; Marie Bas-Hoogendam, Janna; Baskin-Sommers, Arielle R; Bearden, Carrie E; Berner, Laura A; Boedhoe, Premika SW; Brouwer, Rachel M; Buitelaar, Jan K; Caeyenberghs, Karen; Cecil, Charlotte AM; Cohen, Ronald A; Cole, James H; Conrod, Patricia J; De Brito, Stephane A; de Zwarte, Sonja MC; Dennis, Emily L; Desrivieres, Sylvane; Dima, Danai; Ehrlich, Stefan; Esopenko, Carrie; Fairchild, Graeme; Fisher, Simon E; Fouche, Jean-Paul; Francks, Clyde; Frangou, Sophia; Franke, Barbara; Garavan, Hugh P; Glahn, David C; Groenewold, Nynke A; Gurholt, Tiril P; Gutman, Boris A; Hahn, Tim; Harding, Ian H; Hernaus, Dennis; Hibar, Derrek P; Hillary, Frank G; Hoogman, Martine; Hulshoff Pol, Hilleke E; Jalbrzikowski, Maria; Karkashadze, George A; Klapwijk, Eduard T; Knickmeyer, Rebecca C; Kochunov, Peter; Koerte, Inga K; Kong, Xiang-Zhen; Liew, Sook-Lei; Lin, Alexander P; Logue, Mark W; Luders, Eileen; Macciardi, Fabio; Mackey, Scott; Mayer, Andrew R; McDonald, Carrie R; McMahon, Agnes B; Medland, Sarah E; Modinos, Gemma; Morey, Rajendra A; Mueller, Sven C; Mukherjee, Pratik; Namazova-Baranova, Leyla; Nir, Talia M; Olsen, Alexander; Paschou, Peristera; Pine, Daniel S; Pizzagalli, Fabrizio; Rentería, Miguel E; Rohrer, Jonathan D; Sämann, Philipp G; Schmaal, Lianne; Schumann, Gunter; Shiroishi, Mark S; Sisodiya, Sanjay M; Smit, Dirk JA; Sønderby, Ida E; Stein, Dan J; Stein, Jason L; Tahmasian, Masoud; Tate, David F; Turner, Jessica A; van den Heuvel, Odile A; van der Wee, Nic JA; van der Werf, Ysbrand D; van Erp, Theo GM; van Haren, Neeltje EM; van Rooij, Daan; van Velzen, Laura S; Veer, Ilya M; Veltman, Dick J; Villalon-Reina, Julio E; Walter, Henrik; Whelan, Christopher D; Wilde, Elisabeth A; Zarei, Mojtaba; Zelman, Vladimir; ENIGMA ConsortiumThis review summarizes the last decade of work by the ENIGMA (Enhancing NeuroImaging Genetics through Meta Analysis) Consortium, a global alliance of over 1400 scientists across 43 countries, studying the human brain in health and disease. Building on large-scale genetic studies that discovered the first robustly replicated genetic loci associated with brain metrics, ENIGMA has diversified into over 50 working groups (WGs), pooling worldwide data and expertise to answer fundamental questions in neuroscience, psychiatry, neurology, and genetics. Most ENIGMA WGs focus on specific psychiatric and neurological conditions, other WGs study normal variation due to sex and gender differences, or development and aging; still other WGs develop methodological pipelines and tools to facilitate harmonized analyses of "big data" (i.e., genetic and epigenetic data, multimodal MRI, and electroencephalography data). These international efforts have yielded the largest neuroimaging studies to date in schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, substance use disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorders, epilepsy, and 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. More recent ENIGMA WGs have formed to study anxiety disorders, suicidal thoughts and behavior, sleep and insomnia, eating disorders, irritability, brain injury, antisocial personality and conduct disorder, and dissociative identity disorder. Here, we summarize the first decade of ENIGMA's activities and ongoing projects, and describe the successes and challenges encountered along the way. We highlight the advantages of collaborative large-scale coordinated data analyses for testing reproducibility and robustness of findings, offering the opportunity to identify brain systems involved in clinical syndromes across diverse samples and associated genetic, environmental, demographic, cognitive, and psychosocial factors.Item Open Access The genetic architecture of the human cerebral cortex.(Science (New York, N.Y.), 2020-03) Grasby, Katrina L;

To identify genetic variants that affect cortical structure, we conducted a genome-wide association meta-analysis of brain magnetic resonance imaging data from 51,665 individuals. We analyzed the surface area and average thickness of the whole cortex and 34 regions with known functional specializations. We identified 199 significant loci and found significant enrichment for loci influencing total surface area within regulatory elements that are active during prenatal cortical development, supporting the radial unit hypothesis. Loci that affect regional surface area cluster near genes in Wnt signaling pathways, which influence progenitor expansion and areal identity. Variation in cortical structure is genetically correlated with cognitive function, Parkinson's disease, insomnia, depression, neuroticism, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
