[email protected]Largest Genetic Study of Bipolar Disorder Identifies 298 Regions of the Genome That Increase Risk for the Condition
Findings represent a four-fold increase over the last genome-wide association study conducted by an international consortium of leading psychiatric researchersNewswise — In the largest genome-wide study of bipolar disorder to date, an international team of psychiatric genetics researchers has identified 298 regions of the genome containing DNA variations that increase risk for the disorder—a more than four-fold increase over the number previously identified, according to research published in Nature [https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-024-08468-9] on Wednesday, January 22.
The study—the first large multi-ancestry genomic analysis of the disorder to include data from people of European, East Asian, African American, and Latino ancestries—also identifies a new region associated with an increased risk for the disorder within the East Asian samples. Cross-referencing a range of methods, including fine-mapping and other variant-to-gene-mapping approaches, the team identified 36 genes suspected to be relevant to bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder is an often lifelong mood disorder that impairs quality of life and functional ability, and is associated with suicidality. It affects an estimated 40-50 million people worldwide. Bipolar disorder is clinically heterogeneous, encompassing distinct subtypes 1 and 2. Bipolar disorder type 1 is characterized by episodes of both mania and depression, while bipolar disorder type 2 includes episodes of hypomania (a less severe form of mania) and depression. Despite the prevalence of bipolar disorder, it can take an average of eight years to get a proper diagnosis, and much remains unknown about the biology of the condition.
To help elucidate bipolar disorder’s underlying biology, an international team of scientists from within the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium conducted a genome-wide association study, scanning the DNA of 2.9 million study participants from cohorts worldwide to identify genetic markers that were more common in those with the condition. This involved scanning more than 6.7 million common variations in the DNA sequences among the study participants, more than 158,000 of whom experience bipolar disorder.
“It is well established that bipolar disorder has a substantial genetic basis, so identifying DNA variations that increase risk is of paramount importance to understanding the condition’s genetic architecture. In addition to identifying 298 regions of the genome that contain variations that increase risk for bipolar disorder, the 36 key genes we identified as being linked to the condition can now be followed up in a range of experiments to uncover the biological mechanisms through which each relates to the disorder,” says Niamh Mullins, PhD, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, and Genetics and Genomic Sciences, at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and one of the senior authors of the paper. “The newly identified genes may also be used in experiments to explore new drug targets and drug development for bipolar disorder.”
The study team also found differences in the genetic characteristics of bipolar disorder between clinical (patients recruited from hospital inpatient or outpatient units), community-based (participants in general population biobanks), and self-reporting (participants in online personal health surveys) participants. These genetic differences are likely to be driven by a higher prevalence of bipolar subtype 1 in the clinical samples versus a higher prevalence of bipolar subtype 2 in the self-reporting samples, which highlights the need for researchers to be mindful of the data-gathering strategies used within their studies of the condition.
According to the research team, the genetic signal of bipolar disorder is related to specific brain cell types, including GABAergic interneurons and medium spiny neurons, in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus. They also found that cells in the intestine and pancreas are involved, although more research is necessary to further understand this biology.
“Although this work does not immediately impact patient care, it opens the possibilities for long-term positive impact for patients and their families who are impacted by this widespread disorder,” said Ole Andreassen, MD, PhD, Professor of Psychiatry at the Institute of Clinical Medicine and Oslo University Hospital, and senior author of the paper. “Our research paves the way for the development of improved treatments, earlier interventions, and precision medicine approaches that will support clinicians in their decision-making to enable them to manage the condition in the most effective way for each patient.”
The Psychiatric Genomics Consortium (PGC) is an international consortium of scientists dedicated to studying the genetic basis of psychiatric disorders and includes more than 1,700 researchers from over 65 countries.
”This research would not have been possible without the collaborative efforts of scientists worldwide that enabled the study of hundreds of thousands of DNA sequences,” said Kevin O’Connell, PhD, researcher at the University of Oslo and first author of the paper.

A groundbreaking study has revealed new insights into the genetic factors underlying bipolar disorder, a complex and often debilitating mental health condition. The largest genetic study of bipolar disorder to date has identified 298 regions of the genome that increase the risk for developing the disorder.Researchers from around the world analyzed genetic data from over 40,000 individuals with bipolar disorder and more than 60,000 controls without the condition. By comparing the genetic profiles of these two groups, the researchers were able to pinpoint specific regions of the genome that are associated with an increased risk for bipolar disorder.
The study, published in the journal Nature Genetics, sheds light on the genetic architecture of bipolar disorder and provides valuable information that could help researchers better understand the underlying mechanisms of the condition. By identifying these genetic risk factors, researchers hope to develop more targeted and effective treatments for individuals with bipolar disorder.
This groundbreaking study represents a major step forward in our understanding of the genetic basis of bipolar disorder. By identifying these 298 regions of the genome that increase the risk for the condition, researchers are paving the way for new discoveries and potential breakthroughs in the treatment of this complex disorder.

Reggie Bush identifies one change Lincoln Riley must make to fix USC
Things didn’t go USC football’s way in 2024. Despite thrilling victories over SEC opponents to begin and end the season, the Trojans underachieved massively. Reggie Bush thinks he knows why.
“One of the things that we didn’t see this year from the quarterback was that dual-threat component,” Bush said. “The quarterback has got to start running. I’m not saying the current guys can’t do it but they’ve got to start running because that opens up everything. That needs to be a message to the quarterback room. You guys aren’t just here to throw the football.”
Bush highlighted the dip in scoring production from Riley’s offenses, which are usually among the highest scoring in the country. After posting 41-point offenses in 2022 and 2023, the Trojans dipped to 30 points per game in 2024.
The questions around Miller Moss’s mobility followed USC into the season. Those concerns grew louder as the Trojans struggled in pass protection early in the season. Former UNLV quarterback Jayden Maiava ultimately took over the starting job in part because of his more dynamic skillset.
But even Maiava failed to utilize his legs as much as many Trojan fans — including Bush — would have wanted to see.
Designed runs for Maiava were few and far between. The fact that those rare runs were largely effective only made it more frustrating.
Maiava ran four times against Nebraska and Notre Dame. He carried the ball just twice against UCLA and Texas A&M. Not to compare Caleb Williams and Maiava in terms of rushing ability, but the former averaged eight carries per game in his two seasons with the Trojans.
Williams was willing to use his legs when he needed to and that made a difference for USC’s offense. Maiava needs to show that same kind of confidence in his running if he retains the starting job in 2025. Riley needs to show that same kind of confidence in letting his QB run in 2025 as well.
Bush spoke to FanSided on behalf of Modelo, the official beer sponsor of the College Football Playoff. At the start of the 2024 college football season, Reggie Bush and Modelo set out to recruit the ultimate group of dedicated fans to join “Team Modelo” and become “full-time fans.” Those fans have been chosen and will be at Monday night’s College Football Playoff National Championship Game in Atlanta. Before the game, those fans will sit down with Bush to give their “Fanfessionals” on the latest college football season.
Reggie Bush, former USC running back and Heisman Trophy winner, has identified one key change that new head coach Lincoln Riley must make in order to fix the struggling USC football program.In a recent interview, Bush emphasized the importance of recruiting local talent to replenish the Trojans’ roster with top-tier players from Southern California. He pointed out that USC’s historical success was built on the backs of local stars, and that Riley must prioritize recruiting efforts in the region to bring back the glory days.
Bush highlighted the abundance of talent in the Los Angeles area and stressed the need for USC to lock down the best players in the state to compete at a national level. He believes that focusing on recruiting local talent will not only improve the team’s performance on the field, but also reinvigorate fan support and restore the program’s reputation.
With Lincoln Riley now at the helm, Reggie Bush’s advice could prove to be the key to turning around USC’s fortunes and bringing the Trojans back to national prominence. Only time will tell if Riley heeds Bush’s words and makes the necessary changes to fix USC.

#Oconee #Coroner #identifies #man #dead #bridgeBruce Pearl identifies Chaney Johnson as Auburn’s hardest worker
As much success as Auburn is having this season, a lot is a result of a productive offseason. Bruce Pearl shaped his roster the right way, mixing in a lot of returning talent, some players from the NCAA transfer portal, and a highly rated recruiting class. One of the players to come back was Chaney Johnson but he appears to be a different human.
Pearl says Johnson put on 25 pounds this offseason, completely changing his body. In fact, nobody works harder than him according to Pearl. Whether it’s improving his physique or getting shots up, Pearl is confident everybody inside the program would agree with him.
“We looked at film of Chaney Johnson last year,” Pearl said. “His hair is a little different but the young man is 25 pounds heavier right now. He is a monster… I’ll say it again, Chaney Johnson is my hardest worker. It’s really hard. You go back, look at me for 10 or 11 years, when I say somebody is a hard worker, I always put a couple guys in because you don’t want to hurt anybody’s feelings.
“Nobody on this team would argue it. Whether it’s developing his body, working on his jump shot, doing all the different things.”
These comments from Pearl come after Johnson had a great night in a blowout win against Mississippi State on Tuesday. Johnson finished with 17 points, eight rebounds, and four blocks. It’s also the first game of the season Johnson has started, replacing the injured Johni Broome.
In a big spot where questions were going to be asked of Auburn, Johnson was able to deliver.
He will need to continue to deliver, even when Broome is back in the mix. Next on the schedule for Auburn is Georgia, heading there as the No. 1 team per the AP poll. Johnson is likely to remain in the starting lineup.
Usually, hard work finds a way to result in some success. Pearl could not be more thrilled with the effort Johnson has put in but also gave out credit to team staff members for helping him out. An all-around effort that is paying off in the middle of January.
Auburn hopes the same will be true come March, looking to win the program’s first national championship game. If anything, we know it won’t be because of a lack of trying.
Auburn basketball coach Bruce Pearl has identified senior forward Chaney Johnson as the team’s hardest worker. Johnson, known for his relentless work ethic and dedication to improving his game, has been a standout player for the Tigers this season.In a recent interview, Pearl praised Johnson for his commitment to the team and his willingness to put in the extra effort both on and off the court. “Chaney is the epitome of a hard worker,” Pearl said. “He never takes a day off and always gives 110% in practice and in games. He sets a great example for his teammates and is a true leader on this team.”
Johnson, who is averaging double-digit points and rebounds per game this season, has been a key contributor to Auburn’s success. His work ethic and determination have not gone unnoticed by his coaches and teammates, who look to him for inspiration and motivation.
As the Tigers continue their march towards the postseason, Johnson’s work ethic will undoubtedly play a crucial role in their success. With his relentless drive and determination, there’s no doubt that he will continue to be a valuable asset to the team.

Live updates: New Orleans truck attack, FBI identifies suspect as Shamsud-Din Jabbar
Former Princeton football player Tiger Bech, 27, was among at least 14 people killed in the New Orleans attack on Wednesday, his sister confirmed to CNN.
Virginia Bech, 29, said her younger brother was outside a pizza shop on Bourbon Street, walking back to his hotel with a friend, when the attack unfolded.
His friend, Ryan Quigley, was wounded in the attack, she said.
Tiger Bech, from Lafayette, Louisiana, played college football at Princeton and moved to New York City after graduating in 2021 to work as a junior trader for Seaport Global Holdings, a capital markets firm, his sister said.
He was visiting Louisiana for the holidays.
The FBI confirmed Thursday that 14 people were killed in the terror attack in New Orleans. The attacker is also dead. The New Orleans Coroner previously announced 15 deaths but did not provide any identifying information about the decedents.
The last time Virginia Bech heard from her brother was shortly before 1:30 a.m. when he texted their family group chat saying, “Happy new year.”
The last message she sent to her brother said: “Happy new year Tig. I love you and so proud of all you accomplished in 2024. 2025, let’s get it!”
A few hours later, Tiger was dead. His sister said he sustained internal injuries, including head trauma, in the attack when a driver rammed a pickup truck into the crowd on Bourbon Street.
His friend, Quigley, is in a stable condition but suffered a severe laceration to the head and a broken leg, Virginia Bech said.
Princeton’s football coach Bob Surace described Tiger Bech as “a ferocious competitor with endless energy, a beloved teammate and a caring friend.”
Hailing from a family of athletes, most of whom played football at Louisiana State University, Tiger was beloved by friends and family as a larger-than-life person who loved to travel, his sister said.
UPDATE: An earlier version of this post included the attacker in the number of people killed. At least 14 people were killed. The attacker is also dead.
The FBI has identified the suspect in the New Orleans truck attack as Shamsud-Din Jabbar. Stay tuned for live updates as the investigation unfolds. #NewOrleansAttack #FBIInvestigation

Woman set on fire on subway: NYPD identifies woman killed on Brooklyn train in Coney Island
NEW YORK (WABC) — The woman killed when she was set on fire in a Brooklyn subway car has been tentatively identified by police, after using fingerprint and dental information and DNA evidence.
On Tuesday, NYPD officers identified her as 61-year-old Debrina Kawam.
She is believed to have been homeless, sleeping on the subway when she was set on fire.
Last week, a grand jury indicted the alleged subway arsonist on four counts of murder — one count of murder in the first degree, three counts of murder in the second degree and arson in the first degree during a hearing Friday.
Sebastian Zapeta, 33, did not appear in court for prosecutors’ brief announcement of the indictment but he must appear when he is arraigned on the indictment on Jan. 7.
Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said that “murder in the first degree carries the possibility of life without parole,” calling it a charge that is “more significant in state court than currently in federal court.”
“We believe very strongly that this case belongs in the state court,” he said, quickly adding, “we have a very strong working relationship with our federal partners and of course we will always do what is in the best interests” of the case.
His comments came after Mayor Eric Adams directed the NYPD to work with Homeland Security and ICE to explore criminal prosecution of undocumented immigrants.

Gonzalez thanked grand jurors who watched the graphic surveillance video of her death recovered from a subway car.
“Right around the holiday, to have to see the video and the images of a woman set on fire is very hard to deal with,” he said. “This was a malicious deed, a sleeping vulnerable woman on our subway system. This was intentional and we intend to prove this in a court of law.”
Police took Zapeta into custody while he was riding a train on the same line later that day. Authorities say he claimed not to know what had happened but identified himself in photos and surveillance video showing the fire being lit.
A Brooklyn address for Zapeta released by police after his arrest matches a shelter that provides housing and substance abuse support.
Federal immigration officials said he was deported in 2018 but returned to the U.S. illegally sometime after that.
The harrowing episode has renewed concerns about safety in the nation’s largest mass transit system.
