abstract = {Brain geometry affects brain function. A quantitative
encoding of form is provided by the Laplace-Beltrami
operator’s spectrum of eigenvalues (LBS). We examined LBS
genetics of 22 subcortical brain structures and cerebellum
in 19,862 healthy White-British UK Biobank participants by
multivariate genome-wide association study on the first 49
eigenvalues each. Controlling for surface and volume, we
identified 80 unique variants influencing the shapes of one
or several structures, with the highest yield (37 variants)
for brain stem. The previously known influence of several of
these loci on basic morphology, such as volume, is thus
shown to also influence complex shape. Known associations of
observed loci with blood pressure, neurodegeneration,
alcohol consumption, and mental disorders hint at
preclinical stages of these conditions potentially mediating
the genetic effect on brain morphology. Significant
correlations between LBS of several brain structures and the
polygenic risks of hypertension, ischemic stroke, and
schizophrenia evince brain shapes as early biomarkers.},
