Childhood and Adolescence Psychopathology: unravelling the complex etiology by a large Interdisciplinary Collaboration in Europe

Deliverables

workshop 5

How to analyze causality of environmental factors and epigenetics: In the first part of this course, the ESRs will learn which methods can be used to analyze whether associations between risk factors and mental health symptoms are causal. The second part will focus on the analyses of epigenetic data.

Wprkshop 6

Data sharing and drug target validation: After this course, ESRs know which methods are available to jointly analyze data of several cohorts without the need to share all data. In the second part of this course, methods to identify potential targets for drug treatment, either via repurposing or via new drug development, based on results from genetic analyses will be discussed.

Workshop 1

Statistical genetics – twin studies: The twin methodology will be explained and hands-on experience will be provided by practical’s with the commonly used software. This is an ongoing course.

Annual meeting 2

During the meetings, research project findings will be exchanged, mainly by presentations of the ESRs. They will be open to a wider scientific audience. This will also teach the ESRs in presentation skillsin order optimize science divulgation to an attending audience.

workshop 3

Childhood and adolescent psychopathology – description and course: This course will focus on the common childhood and adolescent psychiatric disorders and provide knowledge on the main symptoms and the prognosis.

International Open conference

in an open conference, open for a broad audience, the results of CAPICE will be presented.

Presentation of ESRs

All ESRs have presented their results at the annual meetings and at conferences.

workshop 4

Longitudinal and multivariate modeling: The use of twin studies as well as polygenic analyses using SNPs for longitudinal and multivariate analyses will be discussed and practiced in the practical’s.

workshop 8

Finding a job in Academia or Industry: This workshop will focus on planning research, research management, CV writing, finding a job in academia, how to get funded, grant writing, how to find a job in industry, management, setting up a company, and leadership.

Workshop 7

Statistical genetics – latest developments: Given the rapid pace of development of statistical methods to analyze genetic data, at the end of the project a course will focus on these new developments. Obviously, the content will be based on these developments.

workshop 2

Statistical genetics – genome-wide association studies: After the course, the ESRs will be able to perform a genome-wide association study. They know the methods to perform polygenic analyses and they have knowledge on GWA meta-analyses.

Annual meeting 3

During the meetings, research project findings will be exchanged, mainly by presentations of the ESRs. They will be open to a wider scientific audience. This will also teach the ESRs in presentation skillsin order optimize science divulgation to an attending audience.

Website

The results will be made available to scientists, clinicians and the general public. A dynamic and interactive website will be developed, supporting webcasting services. This website will also have a specific part dedicated for patients and their parents. The text for this part will be written in close collaboration with the patient organizations. The information will be translated in several languages so that it is also accessible to the general public of non-english speaking individuals.

Epigenetic analyses

Epigenomewide-association analyses will be conducted to identify DNA methylation signatures of both lifestyle behaviours during pregnancy and offspring outcomes, to identify potential epigenetic pathways through which lifestyle behaviours may influence offspring outcomes.

Mendelian randomization epigenetic analyses

Mendelian randomization techniques will be used to explore whether methylation of the child’s DNA at birth underlies the association between environmental exposures during pregnancy and psychopathology in childhood and adolescence.

Review paper

Review paper on the latest achievements in genetics, epigenetics and transcriptomic research, that will also be translated from English to Dutch, Swedish and Italian so that they will be published in the national journals that are widely read by clinicians.

Drug target validation analyses

The genetic variants implicated in the WPs will be assessed using genetic circuit mapping technology to implicate molecular pathways relevant to the pathogenesis of mood disorders

Polygenic risk scores

Polygenic risk scores are available for each cohort

PHD Publications ESR2
Multivariate analyses

Harmonized phenotypes in twins will be analyzed within age groups by genetic epidemiological multivariate analyses. Genetic correlations will be computed between the different types of mental health symptoms.

Final Report

Final report is sent to the EC summarizing all research, training, and impact.

Longitudinal analyses

Longitudinal, multivariate epidemiological analyses will be performed on twin data to study to what extent different types of mental-health problems co-develop, with a particular focus to what extent the same genotypic variance underlies the stability in different mental-health problems.

Progress report 1

Interim report is sent to the EC describing progress in research, training, and impact.

Validated prediction model for internalizing problems

Using results from the (epi)genetic and environmental risk factors identified in the other WPs a prediction model will be developed for internalizing problems that can be used in clinical practice.

Validated prediction model for ADHD

Using results from the (epi)genetic and environmental risk factors identified in the other WPs a prediction model that can be used in clinical practice will be developed for ADHD

PhD Publications ESR4

Publications ready for thesis ESR4

Gene-environment interaction analyses

Omnibus tests will be performed to test for the presence of environmental effects that are sensitive to and interact with genotypic effects. Next, specific genetic and environmental stressors will be used to test the negative effects of environmental factors that are exacerbated by having specific genetic variants. These analyses will be based on harmonized phenotypes.

Mendelian randomization analyses

Mendelian randomization analyses will be conducted, using either single variants or polygenic risk scores robustly associated with lifestyle behaviours, to identify causal pathways between lifestyle behaviours during pregnancy and offspring outcomes.

Polygenic analyses

Analyze how the joint effect of all SNPs is of influence on co-morbidity, overlap in effects between ages and the genetic associations with other phenotypes. Methods that will be used are polygenic risk score analyses and GREML.

Interim report is sent to the EC describing progress in research, training, and impact.

Genome-wide association meta-analyses

For each phenotype, meta-analyses will be performed for the data available at childhood and at adolescence. This will first be done using linear regression. At a later stage, more advanced analyses will be performed using co-morbidity and longitudinal models. Meta-analyses will also be performed on the harmonized phenotypes for age 10

Harmonized scores

Within each cohort and within each age group, phenotypic data from various measurement instruments will be harmonized in such a way that all subjects have scores on the same scale.
