Abstract excerpt
Brain zinc dysregulation is linked to many neurological disorders. However, the mechanisms regulating brain zinc homeostasis are poorly understood. We performed secondary analyses of brain MRI GWAS and exome sequencing data from adults in the UK Biobank. Coding ZIP12 polymorphisms in zinc transporter ZIP12 (SLC39A12) were associated with altered brain susceptibility weighted MRI (swMRI). Conditional and joint...
