Cohort study explores genetic risk correlations with psychosocial outcomes in Swedish individuals, suggesting protective effects for lower AUD risk.

This research aims to investigate how genetic liability for alcohol use disorder (AUD) and suicide attempts (SA) influences psychosocial outcomes.
Conducted a cohort study of Swedish individuals born between 1965–1985 with follow-up through 2018.
Utilized family genetic risk scores (FGRS) to categorize individuals into risk groups based on genetic liability.
Calculated correlations between genetic profiles and a range of psychosocial outcomes across groups.
High genetic liability to both AUD and SA correlates strongly with negative outcomes (e.g., r = 0.51 for drug use disorder).
Individuals with high FGRS for SA but low for AUD exhibited the least negative outcomes (r < 0.1) and better educational outcomes (r ≥ 0.1).
Different genetic profiles for AUD and SA present varying correlations with psychosocial outcomes, indicating potential protective factors.

Edwards et al. (2026) studied this question.
