    Abstract: Attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD) is a highly heritable neurodevelopmental disorder, and excessive daytime sleepiness is frequently observed in ADHD patients. Excessive daytime sleepiness is also a core symptom of narcolepsy and essential hypersomnia (EHS), which are also heritable conditions. Psychostimulants are effective for the symptomatic control of ADHD (primary recommended intervention) and the two sleep disorders (frequent off-label use). However, the common biological mechanism for these disorders has not been well understood. Using a previously collected genome-wide association study of narcolepsy and EHS, we calculated polygenic risk scores (PRS) for each individual. We investigated a possible genetic association between ADHD and narcolepsy traits in the Hamamatsu Birth Cohort for mothers and children (HBC study) ( n  = 876). Gene-set enrichment analyses were used to identify common pathways underlying these disorders. Narcolepsy PRS were significantly associated with ADHD traits both in the hyperactivity domain (e.g., P -value threshold 〈  0.05, β [SE], 5.815 [1.774] ; P  = 0.002) and inattention domain (e.g., P -value threshold 〈  0.05, β [SE], 5.734 [1.761] ; P  = 0.004). However, EHS PRS was not significantly associated with either domain of ADHD traits. Gene-set enrichment analyses revealed that pathways related to dopaminergic signaling, immune systems, iron metabolism, and glial cell function involved in both ADHD and narcolepsy. Findings indicate that ADHD and narcolepsy are genetically related, and there are possible common underlying biological mechanisms for this relationship. Future studies replicating these findings would be warranted to elucidate the genetic vulnerability for daytime sleepiness in individuals with ADHD.

    Abstract: Introduction: Obesity is highly heritable, and recent evidence demonstrates that obesity is associated with cognitive deficits, specifically working memory. However, the relationship between genetic risks for obesity and working memory is not clear. In addition, whether the effect of these genetic risks on working memory in children is mediated by increased body mass index (BMI) has not been elucidated. Methods: In order to test whether the polygenic risk score (PRS) for obesity in adulthood (adulthood-BMI-PRS) is associated with working memory at 8 years of age, and whether the effect is mediated by childhood BMI, in children from the general population, participants in the Hamamatsu Birth Cohort for Mothers and Children (HBC) study in Hamamatsu, Japan, underwent testing for association of adulthood-BMI-PRS with working memory. HBC data collection began in December 2007 and is ongoing. Adulthood-BMI-PRS values were generated using summary data from the recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) undertaken in Japan, and the significance of thresholds was calculated for each outcome. Outcomes measured included the working memory index (WMI) of Weschler Intelligence Scale-4 (WISC-IV) scores and the BMI at 8 years of age. Gene-set enrichment analysis was conducted to clarify the molecular basis common to adulthood-BMI and childhood-WMI. Mediation analysis was performed to assess whether childhood-BMI of children mediated the association between adulthood-BMI-PRS and working memory. Results: A total of 734 participants (377 males, 357 females) were analyzed. Adulthood-BMI-PRS was associated with lower childhood-WMI (β[SE], −1.807 [0.668] ; p = 0.010, corrected) of WISC-IV. Gene-set enrichment analyses found that regulation of neurotrophin Trk receptor signaling (β[SE], −2.020 [6.39] ; p = 0.002, corrected), negative regulation of GTPase activity (β[SE], 2.001 [0.630] ; p = 0.002, corrected), and regulation of gene expression epigenetic (β[SE], −2.119 [0.664] ; p = 0.002, corrected) were enriched in BMI in adulthood and WMI in childhood. Mediation analysis showed that there is no mediation effect of childhood-BMI between the adulthood-BMI-PRS and working memory deficits in children. Conclusion: Adulthood-BMI-PRS was associated with working memory among children in the general population. These genetic risks were not mediated by the childhood-BMI itself and were directly associated with working memory deficits.

    Abstract: Accumulating evidence has shown that maternal metabolic conditions, such as pre-pregnancy overweight, diabetes mellitus, and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are potential risk factors of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, it remains unclear how these maternal conditions lead to neurodevelopmental outcomes in the offspring, including autistic symptoms. Leptin, an adipokine that has pro-inflammatory effects and affects fetal neurodevelopment, is a candidate mediator of the association between maternal metabolic factors and an increased risk of ASD. However, whether prenatal exposure to leptin mediates the association between maternal metabolic conditions and autistic symptoms in children has not been investigated yet. Methods This study investigated the associations between mothers' metabolic conditions (pre-pregnancy overweight, diabetes mellitus during or before pregnancy, and HDP), leptin concentrations in umbilical cord serum, and autistic symptoms among 762 children from an ongoing cohort study, using generalized structural equation modeling. We used the Social Responsive Scale, Second Edition (SRS-2) at 8–9 years old to calculate total T-scores. Additionally, we used the T-scores for two subdomains: Social Communication and Interaction (SCI) and Restricted Interests and Repetitive Behavior (RRB). Results Umbilical cord leptin levels were associated with pre-pregnancy overweight [coefficient = 1.297, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.081–1.556, p = 0.005] and diabetes mellitus (coefficient = 1.574, 95% CI 1.206–2.055, p = 0.001). Furthermore, leptin levels were significantly associated with SRS-2 total T-scores (coefficient = 1.002, 95% CI 1.000–1.004, p = 0.023), SCI scores (coefficient = 1.002, 95% CI 1.000–1.004, p = 0.020), and RRB scores (coefficient = 1.001, 95% CI 1.000–1.003, p = 0.044) in children. Associations between maternal metabolic factors and autistic symptoms were not significant. Discussion The present study uncovered an association between cord leptin levels and autistic symptoms in children, while maternal metabolic conditions did not have an evident direct influence on the outcome. These results imply that prenatal pro-inflammatory environments affected by maternal metabolic conditions may contribute to the development of autistic symptoms in children. The findings warrant further investigation into the role of leptin in the development of autistic symptoms.

    Abstract: Little is known about the trajectory patterns and sex differences in adaptive behaviors in the general population. We examined the trajectory classes of adaptive behaviors using a representative sample and examined whether the class structure and trajectory patterns differed between females and males. We further explored sex differences in neurodevelopmental traits in each latent class. Participants ( n = 994) were children in the Hamamatsu Birth Cohort for Mothers and Children (HBC Study)—a prospective birth cohort study. Adaptive behaviors in each domain of communication, daily living skills, and socialization were evaluated at five time points when participants were 2.7, 3.5, 4.5, 6, and 9 years old using the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales–Second Edition. Parallel process multigroup latent class growth analysis extracted sex-specific trajectory classes. Neurodevelopmental traits of children at age 9, autistic traits, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) traits, and cognitive ability were examined for females and males in each identified class. A 4-class model demonstrated the best fit. Moreover, a 4-class model that allowed for differences in class probabilities and means of growth parameters between females and males provided a better fit than a model assuming no sex differences. In the communication domain, females scored higher than their male counterparts in all four classes. In the daily living skills and socialization domains, the two higher adaptive classes (Class 1: females, 18.6%; males, 17.8%; Class 2: females, 48.8%; males, 49.8%) had similar trajectories for males and females, whereas in the two lower adaptive behavior classes (Class 3: females, 27.5%; males, 29.4%; Class 4: females, 5.1%; males, 3.0%), females had higher adaptive scores than their male counterparts. In Class 4, females were more likely to have autistic and ADHD traits exceeding the cutoffs, while males were more likely to have below-average IQ. Different trajectories in females and males suggest that adaptive skills may require adjustment based on the sex of the child, when standardizing scores, in order to achieve better early detection of skill impairment.
