Edge-centric connectome-genetic markers of bridging factor to comorbidity between depression and anxiety by Zhiyi Chen, Yancheng Tang, Xuerong Liu, Wei Li, Yuanyuan Hu, Bowen Hu, Ting Xu, Rong Zhang, Lei Xia, Jing-Xuan Zhang, Zhibing Xiao, Ji Chen, Zhengzhi Feng, Yuan Zhou, Qinghua He, Jiang Qiu, Xu Lei, Hong Chen, Shaozheng Qin, Tingyong Feng

“…Moreover, this cb factor could be predicted using edge-centric connectomes with robust generalizability, and was characterized by connectome patterns in attention and frontoparietal networks. In an independent twin cohort, we found that these patterns were moderately heritable, and identified their genetic connectome-transcriptional markers that were associated with the neurobiological enrichment of vasculature and cerebellar development, particularly during late-childhood-to-young-adulthood periods. …”
