00:00:00 --> 00:00:04 Tune in as we dive into the science behind a new study showing

00:00:04 --> 00:00:05 the shared genetic

00:00:05 --> 00:00:08 route between eight mental health conditions.

00:00:11 --> 00:00:12 Hello,

00:00:12 --> 00:00:14 and welcome to MOMO 634,

00:00:14 --> 00:00:19 the daily podcast chock full of faith-filled inspiration and motivation.

00:00:20 --> 00:00:22 Please like, share, and subscribe.

00:00:23 --> 00:00:28 MOMO 634, motivational moments just for today.

00:00:43 --> 00:00:47 A new study out of the University of North Carolina builds on a

00:00:47 --> 00:00:48 previous study from

00:00:48 --> 00:00:52 2019 looking into the root genetic link between eight mental

00:00:52 --> 00:00:53 health conditions.

00:00:55 --> 00:00:58 The UNC news release announcing the new findings states,

00:00:59 --> 00:00:59 in part,

00:01:00 --> 00:01:01 quote,

00:01:01 --> 00:01:02 In 2019,

00:01:02 --> 00:01:05 researchers at the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium,

00:01:06 --> 00:01:07 Harvard University,

00:01:07 --> 00:01:13 and the UNC School of Medicine identified 136 hotspots within

00:01:13 --> 00:01:14 the genome that are

00:01:14 --> 00:01:16 associated with eight psychiatric disorders.

00:01:17 --> 00:01:18 Among them,

00:01:18 --> 00:01:22 109 hotspots were shared among multiple disorders,

00:01:22 --> 00:01:23 or pleiotropic.

00:01:24 --> 00:01:25 However,

00:01:25 --> 00:01:28 it was not clear at the time how genetic variations within

00:01:28 --> 00:01:29 these hotspots differed

00:01:30 --> 00:01:33 from those that only have roles in only one disorder.

00:01:34 --> 00:01:38 A new genetic study has successfully delineated the functional

00:01:38 --> 00:01:39 consequences of

00:01:39 --> 00:01:41 genetic variance into two groups.

00:01:42 --> 00:01:42 Their findings,

00:01:43 --> 00:01:44 which were published in Cell,

00:01:44 --> 00:01:49 suggest that pleiotropic variants may be optimal targets for

00:01:49 --> 00:01:51 treatment due to their

00:01:51 --> 00:01:54 extended roles in development and sensitivity to change,

00:01:55 --> 00:01:55 end quote.

00:01:56 --> 00:01:57 The news release,

00:01:57 --> 00:01:59 which links the earlier study,

00:01:59 --> 00:02:03 goes on to say that these findings may be key in developing a

00:02:03 --> 00:02:04 common therapeutic

00:02:04 --> 00:02:07 treatment to treat multiple conditions.

00:02:08 --> 00:02:12 The eight conditions listed were Autism Spectrum Disorder,

00:02:13 --> 00:02:16 Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder,

00:02:16 --> 00:02:17 Schizophrenia,

00:02:18 --> 00:02:19 Bipolar Disorder,

00:02:20 --> 00:02:21 Major Depressive Disorder,

00:02:22 --> 00:02:23 Tourette's Syndrome,

00:02:23 --> 00:02:25 Obsessive Compulsive Disorder,

00:02:25 --> 00:02:27 and Anorexia Nervosa.

00:02:28 --> 00:02:29 As always,

00:02:29 --> 00:02:33 I'm linking the scientific studies below this episode at

00:02:33 --> 00:02:33 momo634.com.

00:02:36 --> 00:02:39 We're blessed to be living in such an age where we have the

00:02:40 --> 00:02:41 advanced ability to

00:02:41 --> 00:02:46 learn and know so much about the incredibly complex machinery

00:02:47 --> 00:02:48 that is our bodily

00:02:48 --> 00:02:48 temple.

00:02:50 --> 00:02:53 Though our fallen world is responsible for disease,

00:02:53 --> 00:02:53 death,

00:02:54 --> 00:02:54 and decay,

00:02:55 --> 00:02:59 we have an all-knowing creator behind our intelligent design.

00:03:01 --> 00:03:04 Chime in with your thoughts on these findings below.
