1,000 labs in 45 countries, ENIGMA consortium study identifies 254 genetic variants linked to brain volume, Parkinson's, and ADHD.

A study by the ENIGMA consortium, involving over 1,000 labs in 45 countries, has identified 254 genetic variants linked to brain volume and key structures related to disorders such as Parkinson's disease and ADHD. Analyzing data from nearly 75,000 participants, the research suggests genetic influences on brain structure may play a crucial role in understanding these conditions. While correlational, the findings highlight potential areas for further research and intervention.
