Genetic Areas Included studies
Intelligence Copy number variation and intelligence [93]
Obesity and adiposity Genome-wide association studies of obesity related phenotypes [94]; APOE genotypes and adiposity [85]; 17 genetic loci (FTO, MC4R, TMEM18, GNPDA2, KCTD15, NEGR1, BDNF, ETV5, SEC16B, LYPLAL1, TFAP2B, MTCH2, BCDIN3D, NRXN3, SH2B1, MRSA) associated with childhood obesity [95]
Mental and behavioural disorders and problems Catechol O methyltransferase gene (COMT) and aggression and attention problems[96], MAOA genotype and antisocial behaviours [97], serotonin transporter genes (5-HTTLPR) and mental disorders [98], monoamine oxidases A and B (MAOA, MAOB), dopamine beta hydroxylase (DBH), phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH), tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) & the dopamine receptor 5 (DRD5)—coupled with SNP analysis at the COMT, DRD1, DRD2 & DRD3 loci and behavioural disorders [99], genetic association analysis and anxiety and depression [100]
Other Gene expression and epigenetic changes [39]; Dyslexia candidate genes MRPL19/C2ORF3, KIAA0319, DCDC2 and DYX1C1 and literacy [101];To identify early features of Fuchs endothelial dystrophy (FED) in carriers of the rs613872(G) transcription factor 4 gene (TCF4) [102]
