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, 18, 21 and 26 years. Much effort has gone into developing a user-friendly database which has been used by dozens of collaborators outside of our research group. We have developed a TEDS data dictionary that is continually being updated and expanded for new data collections and datasets; it is used as a reference source of detailed information on all the TEDS data collections and datasets.
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.

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.

Description	CATSLife
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.

Presentation title: How general is general cognition? Evidence from specific domains PhD student Nicholas Shakeshaft presented findings focused on general cognitive ability. Specific cognitive abilities, from mathematical ability to literacy, have typically been found to be highly heritable, and substantially correlated with general cognitive ability ('g'). Presentation title: Genetic link between family socioeconomic status and children's educational achievement estimated from genome-wide SNPs PhD student Eva Krapohl presented findings on the best predictors of children's educational achievement. Presentation title: The role of polygenic scores in the prediction of the developmental course of behavioural problems from early childhood to adolescence PhD student Eva Krapohl explained how latent growth curves were used to model the overall behaviour problems score.
