• The Australian Genetics of Depression Study: New Risk Loci and Dissecting Heterogeneity Between Subtypes. - Biological psychiatry (2022) · Mitchell BL, Campos AI, Whiteman DC, Olsen CM, Gordon SD, Walker AJ, Dean OM, Berk M, Hickie IB, Medland SE, Wray NR, Martin NG, Byrne EM · PubMed 34924174

  Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a common and highly heterogeneous psychiatric disorder, but little is known about the genetic characterization of this heterogeneity. Understanding the genetic etiology of MDD can be challenging because large sample sizes are needed for gene discovery-often achieved with a trade-off in the depth of phenotyping. The Australian Genetics of Depression Study is the largest stand-alone depression cohort with both genetic data and in-depth phenotyping and comprises a total of 15,792 participants of European ancestry, 92% of whom met diagnostic criteria for MDD. We leveraged the unique nature of this cohort to conduct a meta-analysis with the largest publicly available depression genome-wide association study to date and subsequently used polygenic scores to inv

• Multivariate genome-wide analyses of the well-being spectrum. - Nature genetics (2019) · Baselmans BML, Jansen R, Ip HF, van Dongen J, Abdellaoui A, van de Weijer MP, Bao Y, Smart M, Kumari M, Willemsen G, Hottenga JJ, Boomsma DI, de Geus EJC, Nivard MG, Bartels M · PubMed 30643256

  We introduce two novel methods for multivariate genome-wide-association meta-analysis (GWAMA) of related traits that correct for sample overlap. A broad range of simulation scenarios supports the added value of our multivariate methods relative to univariate GWAMA. We applied the novel methods to life satisfaction, positive affect, neuroticism, and depressive symptoms, collectively referred to as the well-being spectrum (N = 2,370,390), and found 304 significant independent signals. Our multivariate approaches resulted in a 26% increase in the number of independent signals relative to the four univariate GWAMAs and in an ~57% increase in the predictive power of polygenic risk scores. Supporting transcriptome- and methylome-wide analyses (TWAS and MWAS, respectively) uncovered an addition

• The Genetic Architecture of Depression in Individuals of East Asian Ancestry - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34586374

  ABSTRACT: Key Points Question Are the genetic risk factors for depression the same in individuals of East Asian and European descent? Findings In this genome-wide association meta-analysis of depression in 194 548 individuals with East Asian ancestry, 2 novel genetic associations were identified, one of which is specific to individuals of East Asian descent living in East Asian countries. There was limited evidence for transferability with only 11% of depression loci previously identified in individuals of European descent reaching nominal significance levels in the individuals of East Asian descent. Meaning Caution is advised against generalizing findings about genetic risk factors for depression beyond the studied population. This genetic association study investigates the genetics of

• 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

• Genome-wide meta-analysis of depression identifies 102 independent variants and highlights the importance of the prefrontal brain regions - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 30718901

  ABSTRACT: Major depression is a debilitating psychiatric illness that is typically associated with low mood and anhedonia. Depression has a heritable component that has remained difficult to elucidate with current sample sizes due to the polygenic nature of the disorder. To maximise sample size, we meta-analysed data on 807,553 individuals (246,363 cases and 561,190 controls) from the three largest genome-wide association studies of depression. We identified 102 independent variants, 269 genes, and 15 gene-sets associated with depression, including both genes and gene-pathways associated with synaptic structure and neurotransmission. An enrichment analysis provided further evidence of the importance of prefrontal brain regions. In an independent replication sample of 1,306,354 individuals
