IBIS EC Approvals
John & Savanna
A Pilot Study of Autism Polygenic Risk Scores and fcMRI Networks
We wanted to see if our fcMRI enrichment approach showed any signal for ASD-associated genetic loading in specific functional networks. We may be under-powered, but Heather Volk’s group has PRS scores now on a number of our subjects, and some of us have been chatting about this on various recent calls. Again, this is a pilot test. If things look promising, we will move to a more formal stage and invite those who may be interested to join a working group.

Jed & Chimei
Exploring cultural differences in parental views on autistic characteristics: A comparative study of the United States and Taiwan
This initial proposal is to focus on the SRS across cultural samples. BUT, there is also brain imaging data in the Taiwanese sample and we will be exploring opportunities on that front in the near future — more specifically, Chimei and I are thinking/talking about writing a data-analysis R21 to examine brain morphometry across samples (but we need more info the nature of the imaging data from Taiwan).

IBIS Genetics Data
For any publications resulting from saliva collection stored or processed at the UNC Bio Processing Lap, please include the following acknowledgement.  This will also be added as a note in the Authorship Matrix.

 “Nucleic acid extractions and/or sample processing and storage were performed by the University of North Carolina BioSpecimen Processing Facility (RRID: SCR_021290), supported in part by NCI Cancer Center Support Grant 5P30CA016086-46 and the NIEHS UNC Center for Environmental Health and Susceptibility Center grant 5P30ES010126"

Have a super awesome weekend everyone!
