Why do family history and polygenic scores explain independent variance for complex traits? Is it because family history is an 'environmental instrument'? Or are these just two very noisy genetic predictors? See our new paper for a deep dive. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Genetics was founded on family data and it's still relevant in the era of genotypes! PA-FGRS is a new method for estimating genetic liability from pedigrees. How we combine it with SNPs to study MDD? What's the best use? (hint: not GWAS) medrxiv.org/content/10.110… Morten Dybdahl Krebs

1993 - Schork (elder) and Schork (elder^2) describe power for estimating genetic effects in pedigrees (t.ly/EU1q7) 2023 - Schork (younger) is informed his latest Fig 3 is not w/o precedence (t.ly/V9szO) Thanks, Dad. 🙄 Still a heritability skeptic?

Proud to have been awarded the PhD after years of dedicated, hard work and project changes. A huge thank you to everyone making this possible, especially Patricia Gerdes! #UQ2023 UQ Medicine Institute for Molecular Bioscience Translational Research Institute #FrazerInstUQ CSIRO

When your friends are great scientists, you make a seminar! Join us at Copenhagen University for a top-notch psychiatric genetics speaker line up. Friday, September 15th. 9:00 to 15:30.

Thanks to the extremely hard and thorough work from Morten Dybdahl Krebs and support from many collaborators. Don't forget about family data - still useful for genetics!

Openings for talented researchers interested in large-scale genetic epidemiology of psychiatry disorders :-) candidate.hr-manager.net/ApplicationIni…
