  2. Meta analysis for genetic studies • A search for “meta-analysis” revealed 400+ articles in Nature Genetics in the last 10 years! • ~20%!! • What is meta-analysis? • Genetics - MA  Importantdiscoveries for: • AD/neurodegeneration • Psychiatric disorders • Behavior and cognition

  3. Meta analysis for genetic studies Imaging 26,000+ Images! Stein et al., 2012 Bis et al., 2012, Ikram et al., 2012, Taal et al, 2012

  4. Genome-wide association study (GWAS)with imaging phenotypes (ICV) Genome-wide significance threshold Image courtesy of Dr. Jason Stein (that guy)

  5. White Matter - Heritability, Risk GenesDTI

  6. GWAS using DTI phenotypes • Single site studies of white matter integrity • Global measure of FA • General factor of FA • Top SNPs in candidate pathways • No “genome-wide” significant findings • Relatively small sample sizes • N~150, N~700

  7. Multi-site DTI • Greatly increase the number of subjects • Genome wide significance? • Would a tract from one study be the same as a tract from another? • How reliable are the tracts in terms of imaging protocol and resolution • DTI reliability studies • Magnotta et al., 2012 • Jahanshad et al., 2010,2012 • Zhan et al., 2012 • Walker et al., 2012 • Teipel et al., 2011 • Planning studies, not mergingexistingdata

  8. Combining DTI - Initial Steps • Create common template • Widely used tract based spatial statistics skeletonization • (Smith et al., 2006) FSL -- http://fsl.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/fsl/

  9. BFS • Scanner: GE • Field Strength: 1.5T • Voxel size (mm): 2.5x2.5x2.5 • N-gradients: 64 • QTIM • Scanner: Bruker • Field Strength: 4T • Voxel size (mm): 1.8x1.8x2 • N-gradients: 94 • LBC1936 • Scanner: GE • Field Strength: 1.5T • Voxel size (mm): 2.0x2.0x2.0 • N-gradients: 64 • GOBS • Scanner: Siemens • Field Strength: 3T • Voxel size (mm): 1.7x1.7x3 • N-gradients: 55 • UMCU • Scanner: Achieva • Field Strength: 1.5T • Voxel size (mm): 2.5x2.5x2.5 • N-gradients: 32

  10. Multi-site DTI GWAS • Would tracts from different populations or datasets even be similarly heritable? • Blokland et al., 2012 • Could they be used as endophenotypes for GWAS regardless of protocol?

  11. Let’s find out! • Multi-site heritability analysis C A C E E A • QTIM • 292 Australian twins of European ancestry (146 pairs) • 68 monozygotic (MZ) pairs, and 78 dizygotic (DZ) • 106 male/ 186 female • mean age 23.0 (SD = 2.0 ; range = 21-29). • GOBS • 859 Mexican-American individuals from 73 extended pedigrees (average size 17.2 people, range = 1-247) • 351 men/508 women • mean age of 43.2 (SD = 15.0; range = 19-85). c c a e e a Twin1 Twin2

  17. Preprocessing • Initial quality control • Creating FA maps • Registration to template and skeletonization • Intermediate QC • Projection distance • ROI extraction • Final quality control • Visual inspection of images • Histograms and outlier detection • GWAS / Other analysis
