3 Heterogeneity Multigroup models (Tuesday) Is the magnitude of genetic influences on ADHD the same in boys and girls? Do different genetic factors influence ADHD in boys and girls? Multiple Group Models Sex differences: MZM, DZM, MZF, DZF, DOS Cohorts differences: MZyoung, DZyoung, MZold, DZold

4 Heterogeneity Moderation models (Today) Some variables have many categories: Socioeconomic status (5 levels) Some variables are continuous: Age Parenting Grouping these variables into high/low categories loses a lot of information

5 Gene-Environment Interaction GxE: Genetic control of sensitivity to the environment Environmental control of gene expression Examples: Does the heritability of IQ depend on SES? Does the heritability of ADHD depends on age?

6 Gene-Environment Correlation rge: Genetic control of exposure to the environment Environmental control of gene frequency Examples: Active rge: Children with high IQ read more books Passive rge: Parents of children with high IQ take their children more often to the library Reactive rge: Children with ADHD are treated differently by their parents

10 Practical Replicate findings of Turkheimer et al. Sample of 5-yr old twins from Netherlands Twin Register Phenotype: FSIQ Environmental/moderator variable:ses

11 Definition variables in OpenMx General definition: Definition variables are variables that may vary per pair/subject and that are not dependent variables In OpenMx: The specific value of the def var for a specific pair/individual is read into an mxmatrix in OpenMx when analyzing the data of that particular pair/individual

12 Definition variables in OpenMx Common uses: 1. As main effects on the means (e.g. age and sex). To model changes in variance components as function of some variable (e.g., age, SES, etc)

13 Cautionary note about definition variables Def var should not be missing if dependent is not missing Def var should not have the same missing value as dependent variable (e.g., use -.00 for def var, for dep var)

14 Definition variables as main effects General model with age and sex as main effects: y i = + 1 (age i ) + (sex i ) + i Where: y i is the observed score of individual i is the intercept or grand mean 1 is the regression weight of age age i is the age of individual i is the deviation of females (if sex is coded 0= male; 1=female) sex i is the sex of individual i i is the residual that is not explained by the definition variables (and can be decomposed further into ACE etc)

40 GxE for categorical data Continuous data Moderation of means and variances Ordinal data Moderation of thresholds and variances See Medland et al. 009

41 GxE in the context of rge If there is a correlation between the moderator (environment) of interest and the outcome, and you find a GxE effect, it s not clear if: The environment is moderating the effects of genes Or: Trait-influencing genes are simply more likely to be present in that environment

42 Ways to deal with rge Limit study to moderators that aren t correlated with outcome Pro: easy Con: not very satisfying Moderator in means model will remove from the covariance genetic effects shared by trait and moderator Pro: Any interaction detected will be moderation of the trait specific genetic effects Con: Will fail to detect GxE interaction if the moderated genetic component is shared by the outcome and moderator Explicitly model rge using a bivariate framework

43 Bivariate model A S A U β XS indicates moderation of shared genetic effects a M a S + β XS M a U + β XU M β XU indicates moderation of unique genetic effects on trait of interest See Johnson, 007 M T NOTE: this model is not informative for family-level variables (e.g., ses, parenting, etc)
