Abstract
Learning difficulties and behaviour problems incur major social cost because they affect so many children and their families, they often persist into adolescence and adulthood, and their effects spill into many areas of the individuals? lives. Early identification and remediation of these common developmental disorders are critical to alleviating the long-term human suffering they cause; understanding their genetic and environmental origins is a major part of achieving these goals.
Since 1995, MRC programme grant G9424799 has created the premier twin study of the genetics of learning difficulties and behaviour problems in childhood, called the Twins Early Development Study (TEDS). TEDS includes 7500 pairs of twins assessed at 2, 3, 4, and 7 years of age, with DNA available for more than 10,000 children. TEDS findings have led to new ways of thinking about the genetic and environmental origins of learning disabilities and behaviour problems in childhood, most notably a ?generalist genes? theory of learning disabilities and abilities. These findings have charted the course for molecular genetic research that has begun to identify genes responsible for the substantial genetic influence on these disorders.
The proposed 5-year study will capitalise on the unique TEDS dataset by following the twins into adolescence using extensive web-based tests and interviews of 5000 twin pairs at 12 and 14 years of age. We will identify DNA markers (single-nucleotide polymorphisms, SNPs) associated with these learning disabilities and behaviour problems using an innovative strategy developed in TEDS -- genotyping DNA pooled across groups on microarrays that genotype more than 500,000 DNA markers. Although each DNA marker will have a small effect, multiple DNA markers can be aggregated in what we call a ?SNP-set.?
The proposed research will identify a SNP-set for general learning difficulties (mild mental impairment, MMI). The SNP-set will be uniquely useful as an index of genetic risk in behavioural genomic research that focuses on the interplay between genes and environment as they affect children?s behavioural development. Although MMI ultimately needs to be understood at all levels of analysis from genes to brain to behaviour, behavioural genomic research will produce gene-based diagnoses that could lead to individually tailored treatments. Most importantly, SNP sets can lead to early prediction of children at risk and thus facilitate research on environmental and behavioural interventions that prevent the onset of these disorders.

Technical Summary
The goal of the proposed research is to understand the genetic and environmental origins of learning disabilities and behaviour problems as children make their transition to adolescence. The research will follow twins enrolled in the Twins Early Development Study (TEDS) ? a representative sample of 7500 pairs of twins who have so far been assessed at 2, 3, 4, and 7 years of age. In the proposed project we will assess 5000 TEDS twin pairs at 12 and 14 years of age using web-based tests and questionnaires. We will continue to apply state-of-the-art model-fitting analyses from quantitative genetics to address questions about development (e.g., genetic change and continuity from age to age), multivariate links between disorders (e.g., genetic co-morbidity and heterogeneity), and genotype-environment interplay (e.g., GE correlation and GE interaction). These analyses will chart the course for molecular genetic work.
Our molecular genetic research will use an innovative method recently developed in TEDS that can detect reliable associations for quantitative trait loci (QTLs) of small effect size. The method combines DNA pooling and SNP microarrays. This method, which we call SNP microarrays and pooling (SNP-MaP), capitalises on a combination of the statistical power afforded by large samples such as TEDS and the high-throughput capabilities of microarray technology. We will use the Affymetrix GeneChip? Human Mapping 500K Array Set, which genotypes more than 500,000 SNPs to identify some of the SNPs associated with mild mental impairment (MMI) by comparing pooled DNA, to identify SNP associations comparing pooled DNA from phenotypically selected sub-samples of TEDS. SNPs nominated by the SNP-MaP method will then be individually genotyped for the entire TEDS sample in order to confirm their status as QTLs, providing 99% power to detect a 1% QTL (p = 10-7) while offering adjustment for testing all SNPs on the 500K GeneChip. Although each SNP is likely to have only a small effect, multiple SNPs can be aggregated in what we call a ?SNP-set,? which we expect to account for as much as 10% of the total variance of highly heritable quantitative traits, such as MMI. This SNP-set will be uniquely useful as an index of genetic risk in behavioural genomic research on the developmental, multivariate and GE interplay origins of learning difficulties.

| Title | 14-yr battery of internet-based measures |
| Description | A new battery of internet-based measures has been developed similar to the existing battery but with the addition of a science measure. Based on the 12-year wave of testing, the criteria for inclusion of measures, and measure details, their reliability and validity have been considered carefully. We created tests that can differentiate among children with difficulties as well as being sensitive to individual differences across the full range of ability. This is necessary in order to investigate disorders in the context of normal variation and to apply powerful QTL strategies in our molecular genetic research. |

| Impact | The battery of internet-based measures makes it possible to assess cost-effectively the large number of subjects needed for genetic research. In addition to providing the foundation for our research, making the material available to other researchers increases collaboration and comparisons with other programmes of research. |
| Title | 16-yr battery of internet-based measures |
| Description | The existing battery of assessment has been extended and adapted so that it can be used for assessment at age 16. |

In addition to providing the foundation for our research, making the material available to other researchers increases collaboration and comparisons with other programmes of research. |
| Title | A battery of internet-based measures of reading, language, mathematics and general learning ability. |
| Description | The MRC programme grant funding for the Twins Early Development Study (TEDS) is the largest genetic study by far on learning abilities and disabilities with extensive data obtained for more than 5000 pairs of UK twins born 1994-96 at 2, 3, 4, 7, 9, 10, 12 and 14 years. Increasing access to inexpensive and fast Internet connections makes it possible to test such large samples efficiently and economically online. We have developed and administered to 5000 pairs of 10- and 12-year-old TEDS twins a battery of internet-based measures of reading, language, mathematics and general learning ability. We demonstrated that internet testing can be reliable and valid: Haworth, C. M. A., Harlaar, N., Kovas, Y., Davis, O. S. P., Oliver, B. R., Hayiou-Thomas, M. E., Frances, J., Busfield, P., McMillan, A., Dale, P. S., & Plomin, R. (2007). Internet cognitive testing of large samples needed in genetic research. Twin Research and Human Genetics, 10, 554-563. |
| Type Of Material | Biological samples |
| Year Produced | 2007 |
| Provided To Others? | Yes |
| Impact | Genome-wide association studies for common disorders and complex traits such as learning abilities and difficulties require huge samples in order to detect many genes of small effect size that are responsible for genetic influence. However, it would be very expensive to test large numbers of children on standard tests of learning abilities and disabilities. Our internet cognitive testing is increasingly used for neuroscience research capitalising on our research. |
| Title | TEDS dataset |
| Description | In the culmination of a decade of MRC programme grant funding, the Twins Early Development Study (TEDS), the largest study by far on learning abilities and disabilities, has systematically analysed their genetic and environmental origins. Extensive data have been obtained for more than 5000 pairs of UK twins born 1994-96 at 2, 3, 4, 7, 9, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18 years. Much effort has gone into developing a user-friendly database which has been used by dozens of collaborators outside of our research group. More recently we have developed a TEDS data dictionary which is used to get information on all the various TEDS sub-studies. |
| Type Of Material | Database/Collection of data |
| Provided To Others? | Yes |
| Impact | Extensive analyses of the TEDS dataset were published in 2007 as a monograph in the prestigious series, Monographs of the Society of Research in Child Development (Kovas, Haworth, Dale & Plomin, 2007). All of the data used in this monograph have been made freely available on our website and it has been widely used. |
| Title | The spACE analysis approach to geocoded twin data |
| Description | This is a novel statistical and visual analysis approach to twin data that incorporates spatial information from geocoding twin pairs. It identifies genetic and environmental geographical hotspots for phenotypes: areas where genetic or environmental variation are responsible for more of the population variation in a trait. The results for TEDS are presented in a series of interactive maps of the UK. |
| Type Of Material | Data analysis technique |
| Year Produced | 2012 |
| Provided To Others? | Yes |
| Impact | The original article is available Open Access from Molecular Psychiatry, and software implementing the approach is available Open Source from http://bit.ly/tedsgeo. The member of our research team who developed the technique has ongoing collaborations with several other twin samples around the world to apply the approach. The technique has received national and international press coverage resulting in a record number of daily visits to the TEDS website. The PubMed ID for this paper is 22688189. |

| PI Contribution | ACTION will develop novel biomarkers suitable for large-scale applications in children and combine biomarker data with new insights into the effects of gender, age, and comorbidity. ACTION will provide guidance in optimising current intervention programs and deliver new biological targets to pave the way for novel therapeutic interventions. ACTION will provide a decision tree to guide personalised intervention programmes and will have direct and sustained impact on reducing paediatric aggression. Its overarching aim is to reduce aggression by developing approaches that take individual differences in genetic and environmental susceptibility into account, thereby leading to better understanding of personalised intervention programs. |

| PI Contribution | ACTION will develop novel biomarkers suitable for large-scale applications in children and combine biomarker data with new insights into the effects of gender, age, and comorbidity. ACTION will provide guidance in optimising current intervention programs and deliver new biological targets to pave the way for novel therapeutic interventions. ACTION will provide a decision tree to guide personalised intervention programmes and will have direct and sustained impact on reducing paediatric aggression. Its overarching aim is to reduce aggression by developing approaches that take individual differences in genetic and environmental susceptibility into account, thereby leading to better understanding of personalised intervention programs. |

| PI Contribution | In the Roadmap for Mental Health and Wellbeing Research in Europe (ROAMER), top-priority is research into child and adolescent mental health symptoms. CAPICE (Childhood and Adolescence Psychopathology: unravelling the complex etiology by a large Interdisciplinary Collaboration in Europe) will address this priority. This network will elaborate on the EArly Genetics and Lifecourse Epidemiology (EAGLE) consortium, a well-established collaboration of the many European birth and adolescent population based (twin and family) cohorts with unique longitudinal information on lifestyle, family environment, health, and emotional and behavioral problems. Phenotypic and genome-wide genotypic data are available for over 60,000 children, in addition to genome-wide genotypes for over 20,000 mothers and epigenome-wide data for over 6,000 children. Combined with the enormous progress in methodology, the results of the research performed in this network will greatly expand our knowledge regarding the etiology of mental health symptoms in children and adolescents and shed light on possible targets for prevention and intervention, e.g. by drug target validation. Moreover, it will provide Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) with an excellent training in the psychiatric genomics field given by a multidisciplinary team of eminent scientists from the academic and non-academic sector highly experienced in e.g., gene-environment interaction and covariation analyses, (epi)genome-wide association studies, Mendelian Randomization (MR) and polygenic analyses. With a focus on common and debilitating problems in childhood and adolescence, including depression, anxiety and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, CAPICE will contribute to improving later outcomes of young people in European countries with child and adolescent psychopathology. Professor Robert Plomin: supervising and training ESRs. He will take responsibility for network-wide training in statistical genetics, specifically twin studies. |

Moreover, it will provide Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) with an excellent training in the psychiatric genomics field given by a multidisciplinary team of eminent scientists from the academic and non-academic sector highly experienced in e.g., gene-environment interaction and covariation analyses, (epi)genome-wide association studies, Mendelian Randomization (MR) and polygenic analyses. With a focus on common and debilitating problems in childhood and adolescence, including depression, anxiety and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, CAPICE will contribute to improving later outcomes of young people in European countries with child and adolescent psychopathology. Professor Robert Plomin: supervising and training ESRs. He will take responsibility for network-wide training in statistical genetics, specifically twin studies. |

| Organisation | University of California |
| Country | United States |
| Sector | Academic/University |
| PI Contribution | Will assist with the many CATSLife analyses that emerge from the extension of CAP and LTS into early adulthood. However, the primary focus of the analyses will be to replicate CATSLife results using the TEDS longitudinal dataset on 7500 pairs of twins, which includes many of the mediators and moderators assessed in CAP and LTS in emerging adulthood, although not to the upper end of the age-span in CATSLife and without as much data on physical health as in CATSLife. Attempts will also be made to conduct combined adoption/twin analyses of CATSLife, LTS and TEDS when possible. Finally, TEDS has genome wide genotype data for nearly 6000 unrelated TEDS participants, which will enable SNP-based genetic analyses of variance and covariance and polygenic score analyses between DNA markers and measures, mediators and moderators relevant to the proposed CATSLife project. |
| Collaborator Contribution | The resulting Colorado Adoption/Twin Study of Lifespan behavioral development and cognitive aging (CATSLife) will be the first prospective longitudinal study of the etiologies of behavioral and cognitive changes during the transition to middle adulthood. The aims are to: conduct a genetically sensitive study of individual differences in behavioral and cognitive change at the cusp of middle adulthood, in 1600 participants studied almost yearly from birth to early adulthood; map individual differences in growth and maintenance of cognitive abilities; evaluate and trace measured physical factors and health behaviors, biochemical markers and measured genetic pathways important to sustaining cognitive performance; and track measured environmental factors that may decrease, sustain or boost cognitive performance. The CATSLife will include expanded assessment of cognitive performance, physical functioning and health behaviors, gene pathways, including measured genetic variation in lipid, synaptic plasticity and cell-signaling paths (based on chip array variants), biochemical markers (e.g., serum lipids), and environmental measures (e.g., engagement in leisure activities). We will assess etiologies of changes in physical health and cognitive functioning, and test whether associations across domains change with age due to changes in genetic variation or self-selection of environments. Measured gene pathway sets, and environmental measures, including engagement in leisure activities and neighborhood-level variables, will be evaluated as potential factors underlying dynamics of genetic variation or environmental selection. Thus, the CATSLife will provide an unparalleled opportunity to assess prospectively the etiologies of cognitive change, and test the saliency of early childhood versus proximal influences on the genesis of cognitive decline. |

| PI Contribution | Our workpackage has contributed quantitative genetic research and provides a large replication sample for molecular genetic analyses that arise from NeuroDys. The molecular genetic research is ongoing using Affymetrix 6.0 GeneChip data to replicate current and future molecular genetics results that emerge from NeuroDys in our Twins Early Development Study (TEDS) which has extensive data on family and school environments as well as on reading and related academic skills and behavior problems. We have also published the first genome-wide association analysis of reading as a quantitative trait (Meaburn et al., 2008). Our quantitative genetic research has included structural equation modeling analyses of longitudinal data on reading performance and environmental risk factors for reading disabilities (both family-based factors, such as shared book reading, and school-based factors, such as child-teacher relationship). This work has resulted in six empirical publications (see outputs). |

| PI Contribution | MQ Grant - I will use statistical innovation and genetically informative designs to achieve the following three novel aims: -To probe the causal nature of the associations between childhood bullying victimisation and the development of a range of relevant mental health problems into early adulthood -To examine the unique effects of cyber-bullying victimisation on concurrent mental health problems in early adulthood. -To identify specific risk factors for bullying victimisation and cyber-bullying victimisation To this end, my team and I will use three large population-based cohorts with comprehensive data on victimisation, outcomes, risk factors and relevant genetic data. This project represents the most comprehensive research programme to date on bullying victimisation and mental health and could change radically our causal understanding of bullying victimisation and prevention strategies |
