  • The genetic relationship between female reproductive traits and six psychiatric

    The genetic relationship between female reproductive traits and six psychiatric disorders.

    Abstract

    Female reproductive behaviors have an important implication in evolutionary fitness and health of offspring. Previous studies have shown that age at first birth of women (AFB) is genetically associated with schizophrenia (SCZ). However, for most other psychiatric disorders and reproductive traits, the latent shared genetic architecture is largely unknown. Here we used the second wave of UK Biobank data (N=220,685) to evaluate the association between five female reproductive traits and polygenetic risk scores (PRS) projected from genome-wide association study summary statistics of six psychiatric disorders (N=429,178). We found that the PRS of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) were strongly associated with AFB (genetic correlation of -0.68 +/- 0.03 with p-value = 1.86E-89), age at first sexual intercourse (AFS) (-0.56 +/- 0.03 with p-value = 3.42E-60), number of live births (NLB) (0.36 +/- 0.04 with p-value = 4.01E-17) and age at menopause (-0.27 +/- 0.04 with p-value = 5.71E-13). There were also robustly significant associations between the PRS of eating disorder (ED) and AFB (genetic correlation of 0.35 +/- 0.06), ED and AFS (0.19 +/- 0.06), Major depressive disorder (MDD) and AFB (-0.27 +/- 0.07), MDD and AFS (-0.27 +/- 0.03) and SCZ and AFS (-0.10 +/- 0.03). Our findings reveal the shared genetic architecture between the five reproductive traits in women and six psychiatric disorders, which have a potential implication that helps to improve reproductive health in women, hence better child outcomes. Our findings may also explain, at least in part, an evolutionary hypothesis that causal mutations underlying psychiatric disorders have positive effects on reproductive success.

    Um. I’m not anti-anyone (genetically). If we all practice nationalism then we do not prey upon one another by exporting costs of domestication upon one another, and then can ameliorate our differences through trade, trade policy, and international (natural) law, while producing those commons most suitable to our peoples. I am however against violations of natural law both in display, word, and deed, including those traditions we all rely upon, the group strategies in those traditions, and the means of argument used in perpetuating those strategies. So do I think the people whose strategies are HERD strategies, (Semitic Monotheists, Women, and Gypsies) going to stop following their instincts and traditions? Um no I don’t. Do I think we can fight with our very lives to restore natural law so that we ameliorate those differences through separatism, nations, trade, and law? Yes I do. And I am right, and it is impossible to make a moral argument counter to it, without violating the very law that prevents us from conquering, enserving, enslaving, or worse. So the choice is simple – we either separate and cooperate or we remain artificially unified for the purposes of conquest by the herd, and fight out a bloody civil war. Carry your own genetic water.

    THE CHOICES ARE LIMITED

    I mean, by and large, you get to choose one or the other. Either your upper (professional class) will flee, your middle class will flee or your underclass will flee (third world), or you will practice eugenics, and manage empirically (middle class), and everyone will stay.

    This is the evidence.
