The genetics of cognition in Schizophrenia by Wootton, Olivia

“…Linkage disequilibrium score regression was used to assess the genetic correlations between reaction time variability and selected neuropsychiatric traits, including schizophrenia. Lastly, Genomic Structural Equation Modelling was applied to cognitive data from the UK Biobank to derive latent factors corresponding to broad dimensions of cognitive function. …”

Epidemiology and genetic risk factors of suicidal behaviour in South Africa by Kootbodien, Tahira

“…Methods: This thesis included an ecological time-series study of national suicide mortality data from Statistics South Africa using joinpoint regression analysis (Study 1, N=10.3 million recorded deaths from 1997 to 2016; 8,573 deaths from suicide); a conditional logistic regression analysis of an attempted suicide hospital-based case-control study (Study 2, N=400; 200 cases and controls); a genome-wide genetic correlation study of suicidal ideation, self-harm, attempted and fatal suicide (samples [n] ranged from 62,648 to 125,844), and selected psychiatric disorders (n ranged from 9,954 to 386,533) using a genomic structural equation modelling approach (Study 3); and a retrospective cohort of linked electronic health records of individuals who attempted suicide and were admitted to hospital and a case series of fatal suicides on whom forensic autopsies were performed at a mortuary in Cape Town (Study 4, N=484). …”
