  • Multi-ancestry genome-wide association study of major depression aids locus discovery, fine mapping, gene prioritization and causal inference - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 38177345

    ABSTRACT: Most genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of major depression (MD) have been conducted in samples of European ancestry. Here we report a multi-ancestry GWAS of MD, adding data from 21 cohorts with 88,316 MD cases and 902,757 controls to previously reported data. This analysis used a range of measures to define MD and included samples of African (36% of effective sample size), East Asian (26%) and South Asian (6%) ancestry and Hispanic/Latin American participants (32%). The multi-ancestry GWAS identified 53 significantly associated novel loci. For loci from GWAS in European ancestry samples, fewer than expected were transferable to other ancestry groups. Fine mapping benefited from additional sample diversity. A transcriptome-wide association study identified 205 significantly a

  • Bi-Ancestral Depression GWAS in the Million Veteran Program and Meta-Analysis in >1.2 Million Subjects Highlights New Therapeutic Directions - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34045744

    ABSTRACT: Major depressive disorder is the most common neuropsychiatric disorder, affecting 11% of veterans. We report results of a large meta-analysis of depression using data from the Million Veteran Program (MVP), 23andMe Inc., UK Biobank, and FinnGen; including individuals of European ancestry (n=1,154,267; 340,591 cases) and African ancestry (n=59,600; 25,843 cases). Transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) analyses revealed significant associations with expression of NEGR1 in the hypothalamus and DRD2 in the nucleus accumbens, among others. 178 genomic risk loci were fine-mapped, and we identified likely pathogenicity in these variants and overlapping gene expression for 17 genes from our TWAS, including TRAF3. Finally, we were able to show substantial replications of our findings
