      A Genetically Informed Brain Atlas for Enhancing Brain Imaging Genomics

      research A Genetically Informed Brain Atlas for Enhancing Brain Imaging Genomics

      3 citations , April 2025 in “Nature Communications”
      The study introduces the GIANT (Genetically Informed brAiN aTlas), a novel brain atlas that integrates genetic and neuroanatomical data to enhance brain imaging genomics. GIANT improves upon traditional brain atlases by clustering brain voxels into genetically informed regions, resulting in increased regional SNP heritability and enhanced polygenicity. It was validated using data from 38,290 subjects from the UK Biobank and 1,809 subjects from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative, demonstrating its generalizability across diverse populations. GIANT's genetic architecture revealed associations with complex traits and potential for gene-guided drug discovery, offering a robust tool for advancing imaging genomics and understanding the genetic underpinnings of brain morphology.
