- An integrative approach to investigate the respective roles of single-nucleotide variants and copy-number variants in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder(2016) LIMA, Leandro de Araujo; FEIO-DOS-SANTOS, Ana Cecilia; BELANGERO, Sintia Iole; GADELHA, Ary; BRESSAN, Rodrigo Affonseca; SALUM, Giovanni Abrahao; PAN, Pedro Mario; MORIYAMA, Tais Silveira; GRAEFF-MARTINS, Ana Soledade; TAMANAHA, Ana Carina; ALVARENGA, Pedro; KRIEGER, Fernanda Valle; FLEITLICH-BILYK, Bacy; JACKOWSKI, Andrea Parolin; BRIETZKE, Elisa; SATO, Joao Ricardo; POLANCZYK, Guilherme Vanoni; MARI, Jair de Jesus; MANFRO, Gisele Gus; ROSARIO, Maria Conceicao do; MIGUEL, Euripedes Constantino; PUGA, Renato David; TAHIRA, Ana Carolina; SOUZA, Viviane Neri; CHILE, Thais; GOUVEIA, Gisele Rodrigues; SIMOES, Sergio Nery; CHANG, Xiao; PELLEGRINO, Renata; TIAN, Lifeng; GLESSNER, Joseph T.; HASHIMOTO, Ronaldo Fumio; ROHDE, Luis Augusto; SLEIMAN, Patrick M. A.; HAKONARSON, Hakon; BRENTANI, HelenaMany studies have attempted to investigate the genetic susceptibility of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), but without much success. The present study aimed to analyze both single-nucleotide and copy-number variants contributing to the genetic architecture of ADHD. We generated exome data from 30 Brazilian trios with sporadic ADHD. We also analyzed a Brazilian sample of 503 children/adolescent controls from a High Risk Cohort Study for the Development of Childhood Psychiatric Disorders, and also previously published results of five CNV studies and one GWAS meta-analysis of ADHD involving children/adolescents. The results from the Brazilian trios showed that cases with de novo SNVs tend not to have de novo CNVs and vice-versa. Although the sample size is small, we could also see that various comorbidities are more frequent in cases with only inherited variants. Moreover, using only genes expressed in brain, we constructed two ""in silico"" protein-protein interaction networks, one with genes from any analysis, and other with genes with hits in two analyses. Topological and functional analyses of genes in this network uncovered genes related to synapse, cell adhesion, glutamatergic and serotoninergic pathways, both confirming findings of previous studies and capturing new genes and genetic variants in these pathways.
- Ventral Striatum Functional Connectivity as a Predictor of Adolescent Depressive Disorder in a Longitudinal Community-Based Sample(2017) PAN, Pedro Mario; SATO, Joao R.; SALUM, Giovanni A.; ROHDE, Luis A.; GADELHA, Ary; ZUGMAN, Andre; MARI, Jair; JACKOWSKI, Andrea; PICON, Felipe; MIGUEL, Euripedes C.; PINE, Daniel S.; LEIBENLUFT, Ellen; BRESSAN, Rodrigo A.; STRINGARIS, ArgyrisObjective: Previous studies have implicated aberrant reward processing in the pathogenesis of adolescent depression. However, no study has used functional connectivity within a distributed reward network, assessed using resting-state functional MRI (fMRI), to predict the onset of depression in adolescents. This study used reward network-based functional connectivity at baseline to predict depressive disorder at follow-up in a community sample of adolescents. Method: A total of 637 children 6-12 years old underwent resting-state fMRI. Discovery and replication analyses tested intrinsic functional connectivity (iFC) among nodes of a putative reward network. Logistic regression tested whether striatal node strength, a measure of reward-related iFC, predicted onset of a depressive disorder at 3-year follow-up. Further analyses investigated the specificity of this prediction. Results: Increased left ventral striatum node strength predicted increased risk for future depressive disorder (odds ratio=1.54, 95% CI=1.09-2.18), even after excluding participants who had depressive disorders at baseline (odds ratio=1.52, 95% CI=1.05-2.20). Among 11 reward-network nodes, only the left ventral striatum significantly predicted depression. Striatal node strength did not predict other common adolescent psychopathology, such as anxiety, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and substance use. Conclusions: Aberrant ventral striatum functional connectivity specifically predicts future risk for depressive disorder. This finding further emphasizes the need to understand how brain reward networks contribute to youth depression.
- Decreased centrality of subcortical regions during the transition to adolescence: A functional connectivity study(2015) SATO, Joao Ricardo; SALUM, Giovanni Abrahao; GADELHA, Ary; VIEIRA, Gilson; ZUGMAN, Andre; PICON, Felipe Almeida; PAN, Pedro Mario; HOEXTER, Marcelo Queiroz; ANES, Mauricio; MOURA, Luciana Monteiro; DEL'AQUILLA, Marco Antonio Gomes; CROSSLEY, Nicolas; AMARO JUNIOR, Edson; MCGUIRE, Philip; LACERDA, Acioly L. T.; ROHDE, Luis Augusto; MIGUEL, Euripedes Constantino; JACKOWSKI, Andrea Parolin; BRESSAN, Rodrigo AffonsecaInvestigations of brain maturation processes are a key step to understand the cognitive and emotional changes of adolescence. Although structural imaging findings have delineated clear brain developmental trajectories for typically developing individuals, less is known about the functional changes of this sensitive development period. Developmental changes, such as abstract thought, complex reasoning, and emotional and inhibitory control, have been associated with more prominent cortical control. The aim of this study is to assess brain networks connectivity changes in a large sample of 7- to 15-year-old subjects, testing the hypothesis that cortical regions will present an increasing relevance in commanding the global network. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data were collected in a sample of 447 typically developing children from a Brazilian community sample who were submitted to a resting state acquisition protocol. The fMRI data were used to build a functional weighted graph from which eigenvector centrality (EVC) was extracted. For each brain region (a node of the graph), the age-dependent effect on EVC was statistically tested and the developmental trajectories were estimated using polynomial functions. Our findings show that angular gyrus become more central during this maturation period, while the caudate; cerebellar tonsils, pyramis, thalamus; fusiform, parahippocampal and inferior semilunar lobe become less central. In conclusion, we report a novel finding of an increasing centrality of the angular gyrus during the transition to adolescence, with a decreasing centrality of many subcortical and cerebellar regions.
- High risk cohort study for psychiatric disorders in childhood: rationale, design, methods and preliminary results(2015) SALUM, Giovanni Abrahao; GADELHA, Ary; PAN, Pedro Mario; MORIYAMA, Tais Silveira; GRAEFF-MARTINS, Ana Soledade; TAMANAHA, Ana Carina; ALVARENGA, Pedro; KRIEGER, Fernanda Valle; FLEITLICH-BILYK, Bacy; JACKOWSKI, Andrea; SATO, Joao Ricardo; BRIETZKE, Elisa; POLANCZYK, Guilherme Vanoni; BRENTANI, Helena; MARI, Jair de Jesus; ROSARIO, Maria Conceicao Do; MANFRO, Gisele Gus; BRESSAN, Rodrigo Affonseca; MERCADANTE, Marcos Tomanik; MIGUEL, Euripedes Constantino; ROHDE, Luis AugustoThe objective of this study is to present the rationale, methods, design and preliminary results from the High Risk Cohort Study for the Development of Childhood Psychiatric Disorders. We describe the sample selection and the components of each phases of the study, its instruments, tasks and procedures. Preliminary results are limited to the baseline phase and encompass: (i) the efficacy of the oversampling procedure used to increase the frequency of both child and family psychopathology; (ii) interrater reliability and (iii) the role of differential participation rate. A total of 9937 children from 57 schools participated in the screening procedures. From those 2512 (random =958; high risk =1554) were further evaluated with diagnostic instruments. The prevalence of any child mental disorder in the random strata and high-risk strata was 19.9% and 29.7%. The oversampling procedure was successful in selecting a sample with higher family rates of any mental disorders according to diagnostic instruments. Interrater reliability (kappa) for the main diagnostic instrument range from 0.72 (hyperkinetic disorders) to 0.84 (emotional disorders). The screening instrument was successful in selecting a sub-sample with high risk for developing mental disorders. This study may help advance the field of child psychiatry and ultimately provide useful clinical information.
- Gene-Environment Interaction in Youth Depression: Replication of the 5-HTTLPR Moderation in a Diverse Setting(2015) ROCHA, Thiago Botter-Maio; HUTZ, Mara H.; SALATINO-OLIVEIRA, Angelica; GENRO, Julia P.; POLANCZYK, Guilherme V.; SATO, Joao Ricardo; WEHRMEISTER, Fernando C.; BARROS, Fernando C.; MENEZES, Ana M. B.; ROHDE, Luis Augusto; ANSELMI, Luciana; KIELING, ChristianObjective: Replication of scientific findings is a Major challenge in biomedical research. In psychiatry, the identification of measured gene-environment interactions (GxE) has promoted a heated debate over the past decade, with controversial results about its influence on disorders such as major depression. The authors sought to replicate a 2003 study on GxE in youth depression in a large birth cohort from a diverse setting. Method: Using data from the 1993 Pelotas Birth Cohort Study, and adopting a design as similar as possible to that of the original study, the authors tested whether the relationship between childhood maltreatment and a subsequent depressive episode diagnosis was moderated by 5-HTTLPR genotype. Of 5,249 individuals assessed at birth and followed up to age 18, data on the evaluation for depressive episodes in early adulthood, on childhood maltreatment and on genotype were available for 3,558 participants, of whom 2,392 remained after conservative screening for previous depressive symptoms. Associations were investigated with logistic regression analyses and controlling for potential confounders. Results: The results replicated important findings of the original study, this time in a sample of young adults from a middle-income country: there was a differential dose-response relationship between childhood maltreatment and major depression according to 5-HTTLPR genotype. Conclusions: After following a research strategy as comparable as possible to that of the original study, the results corroborated the existence of a measured GxE, now in a large sample from a different sociocultural context. These findings provide further evidence that a genetic variant in the 5-HTTLPR moderates the link between childhood maltreatment and youth depression.
