General factors capturing the shared genetics in psychiatric (genomic p-factor) and cognitive traits (genomic g-factor), and more recently in resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging-derived brain networks, have contributed to our increased understanding of the etiologies in their respective domains. Yet it remains unclear whether general factors can capture the three-way genetic overlap of psychopathology, cognition and brain function. Here we tested for the presence of this genetic overlap via genetic correlation analyses using summary statistics of genome-wide association studies of the p-factor (N = 162,151 cases and 276,846 controls), the g-factor (N = 269,867), and the two genomic factors estimated from the amplitude in resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging-derived brain networks (N = 31,688). Unlike hypothesized, only the genetic correlation between the p-factor and the g-factor was significant. We conclude that specific functional brain network constructs may have more potential than their derived general dimensions to capture relevant genetic variation for cognition and psychopathology. ...

Intracranial volume reflects the maximally attained brain size during development, and remains stable with loss of tissue in late life. It is highly heritable, but the underlying genes remain largely undetermined. In a genome-wide association study of 32,438 adults, we discovered five previously unknown loci for intracranial volume and confirmed two known signals. Four of the loci were also associated with adult human stature, but these remained associated with intracranial volume after adjusting for height. We found a high genetic correlation with child head circumference (genetic = 0.748), which indicates a similar genetic background and allowed us to identify four additional loci through meta-analysis (N combined = 37,345). Variants for intracranial volume were also related to childhood and adult cognitive function, and Parkinson's disease, and were enriched near genes involved in growth pathways, including PI3K-AKT signaling. These findings identify the biological underpinnings of intracranial volume and their link to physiological and pathological traits. ...
