🎉 Our new GWAS of anxiety symptom severity is out today in Nature Human Behaviour! It's been a pleasure working on this one as part of the core analyst team, and making the infographics for the @pgcgenetics.bsky.social thread below 👇

📢 Our GWAS meta-analysis of anxiety disorders is now published in Nature Genetics! Was a pleasure putting together these posts shared from the @pgcgenetics.bsky.social account to showcase this exciting milestone in anxiety genomics👇

Are you looking to learn how to conduct and interpret Mendelian randomization studies? You can register now for our in-person short course at UCL. With @emmylooroll.bsky.social and @dylwil.bsky.social 16th-18th September 2025. Details here: www.ucl.ac.uk/brain-scienc...

Pleased to share our new preprint on the 1st large-scale GWAS meta-analysis of panic attacks and panic disorder 👇

That’s a wrap for the #MDD & #Anxiety takeover, thanks for joining us! Special thank you to Outreach Committee Liaisons @karmelchoi.bsky.social (MDD) & @abiterkuile.bsky.social (Anxiety) and all post contributors.

Check out our new paper on the second UKB mental health questionnaire! Was a pleasure to work on the coding team (incl. new additions of panic disorder & panic attack algorithms with @megsk.bsky.social). Thanks for leading @katrinadavis.bsky.social & coding lead @jonicoleman.bsky.social!

Thanks also to the coding team (see next bleet) who put together the algorithms for this work, which can be found here: github.com/ColemanResea... (as well as a mirror on the DATAMIND GitHub) (RAP-friendly implementation is a work in progress...!)

2/n Which #anxiety disorders were included & how were they measured? ✅ 5 major anxiety disorders: ‘any anxiety’ approach captures shared genetics across disorder cluster 📝 Anxiety can be measured in different ways: tested heterogeneity across assessment methods & found strong genetic overlap

Live from the conference continues, we are now at 98 club karaoke, first come first serve! @essgn.bsky.social
