Titre : Associations between emotion recognition and autistic and callous-unemotional traits: differential effects of cueing to the eyes Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Virginia CARTER LENO, Auteur ; Hannah PICKARD, Auteur ; Liliana CYBULSKA, Auteur ; Tim SMITH, Auteur ; Marcus R. MUNAFO, Auteur ; Ian S. PENTON-VOAK, Auteur ; Emily SIMONOFF, Auteur ; Andrew PICKLES, Auteur ; Rachael BEDFORD, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.787-796 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Although autism and callous-unemotional (CU) traits are distinct conditions, both are associated with difficulties in emotion recognition. However, it is unknown whether the emotion recognition difficulties characteristic of autism and CU traits are driven by comparable underpinning mechanisms. Methods We tested whether cueing to the eyes improved emotion recognition in relation to autistic and CU traits in a heterogeneous sample of children enhanced for social, emotional and behavioural difficulties. Participants were 171 (n = 75 male) children aged 10-16 years with and without a diagnosis of autism (n = 99 autistic), who completed assessments of emotion recognition with and without cueing to the eyes. Parents completed the assessment of autistic and CU traits. Results Associations between autistic and CU traits and emotion recognition accuracy were dependent upon gaze cueing. CU traits were associated with an overall decrease in emotion recognition in the uncued condition, but better fear recognition when cued to the eyes. Conversely, autistic traits were associated with decreased emotion recognition in the cued condition only, and no interactions between autistic traits and emotion were found. Conclusions The differential effect of cueing to the eyes in autistic and CU traits suggests different mechanisms underpin emotion recognition abilities. Results suggest interventions designed to promote looking to the eyes may be beneficial for children with CU traits, but not for children with autistic characteristics. Future developmental studies of autism and CU characteristics are required to better understand how different pathways lead to overlapping socio-cognitive profiles.

DNA methylation (DNAm) may capture some of these effects. We therefore investigated associations between child blood DNAm and internalising problems. Methods We meta-analysed probe and region-level epigenome-wide association studies using data from 3 European birth cohorts (ALSPAC, MoBa, Generation R; analytic N?=?1,121?3,011) from the Pregnancy And Childhood Epigenetics (PACE) Consortium. DNAm was assessed at birth (cord blood) and age 6?years (peripheral blood). Internalising problems (ages 3 and 6) were reported by mothers using the Child Behaviour Checklist or Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. Models were adjusted for age at DNAm assessment, 20 surrogate variables, estimated cell proportions, maternal education, age, smoking and, in secondary analysis, maternal anxiety and depression. Public databases were searched for mental health associations with top CpG sites and regions. Results No significant probe-level associations were found between cord- or peripheral-blood DNAm and internalising problems. In region-level analyses, two differentially methylated regions (DMRs) in cord blood were associated with internalising problems at age 3 (annotated to STK32C, MIR886) and one at age 6 (PFKFB2). At age 6, peripheral-blood analyses identified two DMRs (C10orf26 (WBP1L), FAM125A). Several genes showed prior associations with psychiatric phenotypes, including depression. Conclusions The higher-powered regional-level analyses revealed more associations than probe-level. Among others, we identified a region annotated to STK32C that has previously been linked to adolescent depression. Larger samples and refined phenotyping are needed to clarify the role of DNAm in internalising problems.

Titre : Emotional dysregulation in childhood and disordered eating and self-harm in adolescence: prospective associations and mediating pathways Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Naomi WARNE, Auteur ; Jon HERON, Auteur ; Becky MARS, Auteur ; Francesca SOLMI, Auteur ; Lucy BIDDLE, Auteur ; David GUNNELL, Auteur ; Gemma HAMMERTON, Auteur ; Paul MORAN, Auteur ; Marcus R. MUNAFO, Auteur ; Ian S. PENTON-VOAK, Auteur ; Andy SKINNER, Auteur ; Anne STEWART, Auteur ; Helen BOULD, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.797-806 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Emotional dysregulation may be a risk factor for disordered eating and self-harm in young people, but few prospective studies have assessed these associations long-term, or considered potential mediators. We examined prospective relationships between childhood emotional dysregulation and disordered eating and self-harm in adolescence; and social cognition, emotional recognition, and being bullied as mediators. Methods We analysed Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children data on 3,453 males and 3,481 females. We examined associations between emotional dysregulation at 7 years and any disordered eating and any self-harm at 16 years with probit regression models. We also assessed whether social cognition (7 years), emotional recognition (8 years) and bullying victimisation (11 years) mediated these relationships. Results Emotional dysregulation at age 7 years was associated with disordered eating [fully adjusted probit B (95% CI) = 0.082 (0.029, 0.134)] and self-harm [fully adjusted probit B (95% CI) = 0.093 (0.036, 0.150)] at age 16 years. There was no evidence of sex interactions or difference in effects between self-harm and disordered eating. Mediation models found social cognition was a key pathway to disordered eating (females 51.2%; males 27.0% of total effect) and self-harm (females 15.7%; males 10.8% of total effect). Bullying victimisation was an important pathway to disordered eating (females 17.1%; males 10.0% of total effect), but only to self-harm in females (15.7% of total effect). Indirect effects were stronger for disordered eating than self-harm. Conclusions In males and females, emotional dysregulation in early childhood is associated with disordered eating and self-harm in adolescence and may be a useful target for prevention and treatment. Mediating pathways appeared to differ by sex and outcome, but social cognition was a key mediating pathway for both disordered eating and self-harm.

Titre : Examining the bidirectional association between emotion recognition and social autistic traits using observational and genetic analyses Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Zoe E. REED, Auteur ; Liam MAHEDY, Auteur ; Abigail JACKSON, Auteur ; George DAVEY SMITH, Auteur ; Ian S. PENTON-VOAK, Auteur ; Angela S. ATTWOOD, Auteur ; Marcus R. MUNAFO, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1330-1338 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adult Autism Spectrum Disorder/genetics Autistic Disorder Child Emotions Humans Longitudinal Studies Parents Young Adult Alspac Autism spectrum disorder emotion recognition polygenic risk score social autistic traits Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: There is mixed evidence for an association between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and emotion recognition deficits. We sought to assess the bidirectionality of this association using phenotypic and genetic data in a large community sample. METHODS: Analyses were conducted in three stages. First, we examined the bidirectional association between social autistic traits at age 8 years and emotion recognition task (ERT) responses at age 24 years (Study 1; N = 3,562); and between Diagnostic Analysis of Non-Verbal Accuracy (DANVA) emotion recognition responses at age 8 years and social autistic traits at age 10 years (Study 2; N = 9,071). Next, we used genetic analyses (Study 3) to examine the association between polygenic risk scores for ASD and outcomes for the ERT and DANVA. The genetic correlation between ASD and ERT responses at age 24 was also estimated. Analyses were conducted in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children. RESULTS: Social autistic traits at age 8 years were negatively associated with later total correct responses on ERT in Study 1 (b = -0.18; 95% CI: -0.27 to -0.09). We also found evidence of an association in Study 2 (b = -0.04; 95% CI: -0.05 to -0.03). We found the opposite association, that is positive, between the ASD polygenic risk score and ERT (b = 0.40; 95% CI: 0.10 to 0.70); however, this association varied across different p-value thresholds and would not survive multiple testing, so should be interpreted with caution. We did not find evidence of a genetic correlation between ASD and ERT. CONCLUSION: We found an observational association between poorer emotion recognition and increased social autistic traits. Our genetic analyses may suggest a shared genetic aetiology between these or a potential causal pathway; however, future research would benefit from using better powered GWAS to examine this further. Our results may inform interventions targeting emotion recognition.
