Imaging Genetics and Genomics in Psychiatry: A Critical Review of Progress and Potential

Abstract: Imaging genetics and genomics research has begun to provide insight into the molecular and genetic architecture of neural phenotypes and the neural mechanisms through which genetic risk for psychopathology may emerge. As it approaches its third decade, imaging genetics is confronted by many challenges including the proliferation of studies using small sample sizes and diverse designs, limited replication, problems with harmonization of neural phenotypes for meta-analysis, unclear mechanisms, and evidence that … Show more

“…While the BIMPS approach has multiple strengths including a polygenic approach and reliance on prior literature, it is also faced with challenges (Bogdan et al, in press). This approach is reliant upon prior functional associations with particular polymorphisms, which could reasonably only be employed in a handful of systems.…”

“…Over the past several decades—and particularly since the turn of the last century—disciplinary boundaries have become increasingly diffuse as psychiatry leverages scientific discoveries across related fields. As just three examples, (1) modern neuroimaging cannot be conducted without advanced scanning sequences and new imaging modalities devised by physicists, (2) modern psychiatric genetics cannot be conducted without experts in both molecular genetics and Bayesian statistics, and (3) neurogenetics, which specifies neural functions that mediate relations between multifactorial genetic burden and behavior, cannot be conducted without expertise in all these domains [47]. Given such developments and other important technological advances, the value of transdisciplinary research is likely evident to readers, so we turn our attention to other principles.…”

“…Strict genome‐wide significance thresholds and large sample sizes have led to highly replicable associations not just in brain traits but across all genetic search literature (see Table for good practices). In imaging genetics, pushback to the ideas of meta‐analysis, universally applied strict statistical thresholds, and requirement for replication persists . This resistance stems from an assumption that heterogeneity induced from meta‐analysis can dilute or alter effects.…”
