ANDREASSEN, Auteur ; Per MAGNUS, Auteur ; Pål R.

However, this hypothesis has not been widely tested. Methods We addressed this gap by examining whether children's education polygenic scores (PGSedu) were associated with maternal self-reported positive and literacy-focused parenting when children were 5?years old, and if evoked parenting differences mediated genetic effects on children's educational outcomes (mother-reported at 6?8?years of age), while controlling for parental PGSedu. We also investigated whether maternal reports of children's language at 5?years old were associated with parenting and mediated genetic effects on educational performance. These questions were addressed in a sample of 83,627 parent-offspring trios from the Norwegian Mother, Father and Child Cohort Study, a longitudinal population-based pregnancy cohort. Results Children's PGSedu were significantly associated with maternal literacy-focused (??=?.03, 95% CI [0.01, 0.05], p?=?.021) but not positive parenting (??=?0.01, 95% CI [?0.02, 0.05], p?=?.410), and literacy-focused parenting significantly mediated the effects of children's PGSedu on their educational performance (??=?0.01, 95% CI [1???10?3, 0.01], p?=?.023). Children's language was associated with maternal parenting and mediated the effects of children's PGSedu on their educational performance (??=?0.01, 95% CI [3???10?3, 0.02], p?=?.002). Conclusions These findings support our hypotheses and suggest early language and parenting may be mechanisms implicated in the pathways from children's genetics to their educational outcomes.

Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Individuals diagnosed with autism often describe that they process sensory information differently from others, and many experience sensory issues as problematic. For instance, an increased sensitivity to smells or sounds can make participating in social settings challenging. While sensory issues are now part of the diagnostic criteria for autism, they also co-occur with other psychiatric diagnoses such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and anxiety disorders. It is unclear to what extent the relationship between autism and alterations in sensory processing are due to genetics or environment. In addition, more research is needed on how autism, as compared to other diagnoses, is associated with sensory issues. Using a twin study, we found that genetic factors influenced self-reported reactivity to sensory stimuli in autism while environmental factors influenced other sensory issues (e.g. difficulties in detecting or differentiating sensory input). Hence, sensory hyper-reactivity might be an early onset core feature of autism, while other domains of alterations in sensory processing might develop later, influenced by the environment. Moreover, autism was more strongly associated with sensory issues related to increased sensitivity/reactivity as compared to other psychiatric diagnoses. However, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder was more strongly related to deficits in detecting/differentiating sensory stimuli and with an increased drive to seek sensory input. Our results indicate that sensory issues are not specific to autism, but that some aspects of altered sensory processing are more relevant for autism than for other diagnoses.

Titre : Associations between genetic predisposition to mental health problems and academic achievement: a developmental perspective using two population-based cohorts Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Marie-Pier LAROSE, Auteur ; Isabel SCHUURMANS, Auteur ; Edward D. BARKER, Auteur ; Liliana GARCIA MONDRAGON, Auteur ; Henning TIEMEIER, Auteur ; Irwin WALDMAN, Auteur ; Charlotte CECIL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.253-265 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Behavioral genetics educational attainment conduct disorder attention-deficit-hyperactivity disorder Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Children's cognitive abilities play an important role throughout their academic career, but recent studies highlight the negative impacts of aggression, inattention, and impulsivity on academic success. These behaviors and traits are central to most externalizing (EXT) and neurodevelopmental (NDD) problems, which are substantially genetically influenced. We examined the mechanisms by which high levels of genetic predispositions to EXT and NDD problems associate with elevated mental health symptoms and subsequently lead to lower levels of academic achievement in two developmental periods (i.e., childhood and adolescence). Methods Analyses were performed on a subset of participants from the Generation R Study (N?=?2,992) and the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) (N?=?5,099). Using structural equation modeling, we simultaneously tested for indirect pathways between polygenic scores for externalizing and neurodevelopmental problems (PGS-EXT and PGS-NDD) and academic achievement (age 12 in the Generation R Study and age 16 in ALSPAC) via children's symptomatology for conduct, attention, social, and oppositional defiant problems reported by mothers during early childhood (Generation R Study) and from childhood to adolescence (ALSPAC study). Our models were adjusted for children's sex, exposure to adversity, cognitive abilities, early school achievement (only in ALSPAC), and genetic predisposition to educational attainment. Results In both cohorts, we found that higher levels of PGS-NDD were associated with lower levels of academic achievement via higher attention problems. In adolescence only, we found that higher levels of PGS-NDD and PGS-EXT were associated with lower academic achievement via higher levels of conduct problems. Conclusions Genetic predispositions to EXT and NDD were indirectly associated with academic achievement beyond the PGS for educational attainment, highlighting the need for sustained efforts to support children with attention problems in educational settings and to intervene on conduct problems, particularly during adolescence.

D'ONOFRIO, Auteur ; Paul LICHTENSTEIN, Auteur ; Henrik LARSSON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.453-459 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : ADHD DSM birth weight behavioral genetics environmental influences Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Studies have found an association between low birth weight and ADHD, but the nature of this relation is unclear. First, it is uncertain whether birth weight is associated with both of the ADHD dimensions, inattentiveness and hyperactivity-impulsivity. Second, it remains uncertain whether the association between birth weight and ADHD symptom severity is confounded by familial factors. Method Parents of all Swedish 9- and 12-year-old twins born between 1992 and 2000 were interviewed for DSM-IV inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive ADHD symptoms by the Autism – Tics, AD/HD and other Comorbidities (A-TAC) inventory (N = 21,775 twins). Birth weight was collected prospectively through the Medical Birth Registry. We used a within-twin pair design to control for genetic and shared environmental factors. Results Reduced birth weight was significantly associated with a mean increase in total ADHD (β = −.42; 95% CI: −.53, −.30), inattentive (β = −.26; 95% CI: −.33, −.19), and hyperactive-impulsive (β = −.16; 95% CI: −.22, −.10) symptom severity. These results imply that a change of one kilogram of birth weight corresponded to parents rating their child nearly one unit higher (going from “no” to “yes, to some extent” on a given symptom) on the total ADHD scale. These associations remained within pairs of MZ and DZ twins, and were also present when restricting the analyses to full term births. Conclusions There is an independent association between low birth weight and all forms of ADHD symptoms, even after controlling for all environmental and genetic confounds shared within twin pairs. These results indicate that fetal growth restriction (as reflected in birth weight differences within twin pairs) and/or the environmental factors which influence it is in the casual pathway leading to ADHD.
