Odile/Premika summarized their attempts to compare FS 5.3, FS 5.0 and FSL First on their own data set (and for FS 5.0 also on Spalletta’s group sample). They will perform additional comparisons on a child OCD sample and Spalletta’s data with First. Discussion on the issue of poor segmentation of these brain regions will be continued during the Feb 25 ENIGMA PI meeting (with Paul Thompson’s group) in Amsterdam.Paul- in one previous ENIGMA study (Stein et al., Nature Genetics, April 15 2012), a small number of cohort PIs were unhappy with the FreeSurfer resultsex- Ian Deary- preferred FSL first, which worked slightly better in his elderly cohort (Lothian Birth Cohort, LBC1936, from Edinburgh, UK). so long as a group is happy with the majority of their FreeSurfer segmentations, then they can exclude any that are poor; In ENIGMA1 it was best to allow the sites to decide between Freesurfer and FSL, but in ENIGMA2 (GWAS in 50 cohorts, everyone used Freeesurfer)Odile-first let’s do the meta analysis on FS5.3, excluding those that are very badthen do another analysis on some cohorts using FSL FIRST, to see if any better, and can use the 2 meta-analysesdo not like the idea of doing one meta-analysis with two different methodsPaul- only a very small handful of groups were unhappy with the FS segmentations, in the ENIGMA1 paper. Jason Stein added some information on FSL vs FS in the supplement of the 2012 paperpaper- Stein et al 2012, Nature GeneticsOdile- next week in Amsterdam there will be a group meeting, to discuss technical details, after it I will send everyone an emailand will do some comparisons and then email everyone how to proceedfor now will proceed with FS 5.3Odile- there is also an issue of quality with the segmentation of pediatric scans, which tend to be worse than the adult scan segmentationsKate- segmentations are not working very well with FS, have a colleague at UMich with a large youth population who also had FS problems, this person is working with someone at the NIH to make a child atlas that can be used in conjunction with freesurfer to improve the segmentationsquestion for Odile and Paul- would it be ok to use a different atlas, would the data be comparable?Paul- using different template should be fine so long as you evaluate that the resulting segmentations match anatomy (e.g., expertly/manually defined ground truth), and also evaluate if the customized priors used result in generally larger/smaller segmentations - it would be important to know if the new child atlas led to a difference in the mean size of segmentations, and their variance, relative to the standard Freesurfer method. should be fine for groups to use a different method, as long as the group demonstrates that the method was comparable and valid; valid measures are more important than sticking with a method that gives less accurate results just for the sake of harmonizing the methodthis is a good suggestion, and this is what other working groups (ex- OCD) have doneOdile- current status of whole consortiumall sites should look at their own status and see if have correct information listedreminder that overall progress is limited by the slowest group, it is important to move along and get resultsgoal is to do meta-analysis in one montheach site should consider if this is possible, if not, then please let us know and we can help figure out how to make it happen (ex- may give some help with doing analysis)hope to do analysis in April, and have results in May, present results in May, and then will write up the paperother ENIGMA working groups (Depression, Schizophrenia, Bipolar)- are ahead and already doing cortical and other secondary analysis, for our group it is important to feel confident in subcortical before moving on, we already have the FS 5.3 processing done, so should be able to publish this soonOdile- analysis planSee draft analyses plan form as used in the other ENIGMA working groupseach site can take a look and send info about their ideasthe OCD website on ENIGMA is not up yetNeda- please send us the info, and we can put it up, also Odile should have an account to upload their info; we can also offer a specific password protected area just for this group’s membersplease everyone use the form sent and we will get an overview of the proposed ideasOdile- pooling the raw data for mega-analysisthis project has its origin in OBIC, where we pool raw data, so it is worth it to build up a big database of raw databased on informed consent forms from sites, most people are eager to share the raw data (5,000 scans - half cases, half controls)this is about 8 times larger than OBIC (N=780)will enable unique analysis- example clinical phenotypebased on experience with OBIC, it is a lot of work to create this large database, needs a lot of QC (ex- for clinical data, missing cells, etc), took about a year to prepare, in the end have a great dataset and people can work in parallelallow different groups to work on different analysis in parallel, worked very well in OBICOdile will arrange ethical approval at VUmc and sent the English copy of this to the sites.will the coming months to start this, expect to take a long time, once the database is checked and complete can discuss how to divide the work and do specific analysisany comments on building the database for mega-analysis- no commentsOdile- so far have used the structural MRI, also have resting state and DTIin the future, can do imaging genetics on the T1if other people have specific interest in RS or DTI, would be great if specific groups can take the lead in some of these -send me an email if interestedOdile- the OCD working group can propose specific projects and can seek fundingCarlos (Barcelona)- submitted a grant proposal (NARSAD and OCD foundation) for OCD using Resting State data in the ENIGMA groups, with specific interest in the amygdala-frontal cortex connectivity (seed based analysis, amplitude of low frequency fluctuations), the funding would support on RA for 1-2 years in Barcelona and could also help in other analysis in ENIGMA dataOdile- asked Carlos if interested in leading a group in OCD on resting state analysisCarlos- can not take the lead, can helpDan Stein & Blair Simpson- put in a grant proposal (NIH) around low income countries (India-Brazil-South Africa), should hear in Q1 of this year, goal is to make neuropsychology batteries more inform. ENIGMA-OCD database is only small (but relevant) part of the grant proposal.everyone is welcome to comment and work with the data. Inform Odile about the plans/submissions in order to keep an overview.Odile- GWASCarol, Jim (not in the call)- Odile will ask them of the status and let us know by emailOdile- options to meetsome people from Holland (ADHD, autism, MDD, addiction and OCD working group) and from Paul Thompson’s group will meet next week in Amsterdamanother meeting just prior to OHBM with all ENIGMA working group PI’s- Odile will represent the OCD groupplease let me know beforehand of any issues that you wish to presentwelcome everyone to send an email with your plans of possible meetings near OHBM (Honolulu) and SOBP (Toronto), host will coordinate and find a common time/placeOdile- ask for questions or new ideasno comments/questionsOdile- will close the meeting, hope to do the first meta-analysis with one month, if this is a problem at your site, please let us know and we can find how to help you or can do the data processing, thanks and keep up the good work! ................
