In this study we evaluated the association between Y chromosome and mitochondrial DNA haplogroups with sexually-dimorphic behavioural and psychiatric traits. The study sample included 4,211 males and 4,009 females with mitochondrial DNA haplogroups and 4,788 males with Y chromosome haplogroups who are part of the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) based in the United Kingdom. Different subsets of these populations were assessed using measures of behavioural and psychiatric traits with logistic regression being used to measure the association between haplogroups and the traits. The majority of behavioural traits in our cohort differed between males and females; however Y chromosome and mitochondrial DNA haplogroups were not associated with any of the variables. These findings suggest that if there is common variation on the Y chromosome and mitochondrial DNA associated with behavioural and psychiatric trait variation, it has a small effect. date: 2017-09 date_type: published official_url: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-017-10871-4 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub pmcid: PMC5599552 language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green article_type_text: Journal Article verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1556029 doi: 10.1038/s41598-017-10871-4 pii: 10.1038/s41598-017-10871-4 lyricists_name: Howe, Laurence lyricists_id: LJMSH63 actors_name: Cuccu, Clara actors_id: CCCUC40 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Sci Rep volume: 7 article_number: 11655 event_location: England issn: 2045-2322 citation: Howe, LJ; Erzurumluoglu, AM; Davey Smith, G; Rodriguez, S; Stergiakouli, E; (2017) Y Chromosome, Mitochondrial DNA and Childhood Behavioural Traits.
