Associations Between Genetic Risk for Adult Suicide Attempt and Suicidal Behaviors in Young Children in the US, in JAMA Psychiatry
key takeaway: "In this case-control study of 4344 children using data from the population-based Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study, statistically significant associations were found between children’s SAs and their polygenic risk scores for SAs, as derived from an independent genome-wide association study of 550 000 adults. These associations strengthened with age and remained significant after accounting for clinical, familial, and sociodemographic risk factors of suicide."
