摘要

Our genetic makeup, together with environmental and social influences, shape our brain’s development. Yet, the imaging-genetics field has struggled to integrate all these modalities to investigate the interplay between genetic blueprint, brain architecture, environment, human health and daily living skills. Here we interrogate the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) cohort to outline the effects of rare high-effect genetic variants on brain architecture and their corresponding implications on cognitive, behavioural, psychosocial and socioeconomic traits. We design a holistic pattern-learning framework that quantitatively dissects the impacts of copy number variations (CNVs) on brain structure and 938 behavioural variables spanning 20 categories in 7,338 adolescents. Our results reveal associations between genetic alterations, higher-order brain networks and specific parameters of the family wellbeing, including increased parental and child stress, anxiety and depression, or neighbourhood dynamics such as decreased safety. We thus find effects extending beyond the impairment of cognitive ability or language capacity which have been previously reported. Our investigation spotlights the interplay between genetic variation and subjective life quality in adolescents and their families.
