Abstract excerpt
Here, we investigated the genetics of weighted functional brain network graph theory measures from 18,445 participants of the UK Biobank (44-80 years). The eighteen measures studied showed low heritability (mean h2SNP = 0.12) and were highly genetically correlated. One genome-wide significant locus was associated with strength of somatomotor and limbic networks. These intergenic variants were located near the...
