  • Symptom-level modelling unravels the shared genetic architecture of anxiety and depression. - Nature human behaviour (2021) · Thorp JG, Campos AI, Grotzinger AD, Gerring ZF, An J, Ong JS, Wang W, Shringarpure S, Byrne EM, MacGregor S, Martin NG, Medland SE, Middeldorp CM, Derks EM · PubMed 33859377

    Depression and anxiety are highly prevalent and comorbid psychiatric traits that cause considerable burden worldwide. Here we use factor analysis and genomic structural equation modelling to investigate the genetic factor structure underlying 28 items assessing depression, anxiety and neuroticism, a closely related personality trait. Symptoms of depression and anxiety loaded on two distinct, although highly genetically correlated factors, and neuroticism items were partitioned between them. We used this factor structure to conduct genome-wide association analyses on latent factors of depressive symptoms (89 independent variants, 61 genomic loci) and anxiety symptoms (102 variants, 73 loci) in the UK Biobank. Of these associated variants, 72% and 78%, respectively, replicated in an independ

  • Sex-stratified genome-wide association study of multisite chronic pain in UK Biobank - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 33830993

    ABSTRACT: Chronic pain is highly prevalent worldwide and imparts a significant socioeconomic and public health burden. Factors influencing susceptibility to, and mechanisms of, chronic pain development, are not fully understood, but sex is thought to play a significant role, and chronic pain is more prevalent in women than in men. To investigate sex differences in chronic pain, we carried out a sex-stratified genome-wide association study of Multisite Chronic Pain (MCP), a derived chronic pain phenotype, in UK Biobank on 178,556 men and 209,093 women, as well as investigating sex-specific genetic correlations with a range of psychiatric, autoimmune and anthropometric phenotypes and the relationship between sex-specific polygenic risk scores for MCP and chronic widespread pain. We also asse

  • Integrative analysis of genome-wide association studies identifies novel loci associated with neuropsychiatric disorders - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 33479212

    ABSTRACT: Neuropsychiatric disorders, such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), schizophrenia (SCZ), bipolar disorder (BIP), and major depressive disorder (MDD) share common clinical presentations, suggesting etiologic overlap. A substantial proportion of SNP-based heritability for neuropsychiatric disorders is attributable to genetic components, and genome-wide association studies (GWASs) focusing on individual diseases have identified multiple genetic loci shared between these diseases. Here, we aimed at identifying novel genetic loci associated with individual neuropsychiatric diseases and genetic loci shared by neuropsychiatric diseases. We performed multi-trait joint analyses and meta-analysis across five neuropsychiatric disorders based

  • depression and mood instability risk Moderate

    DCC is the sole locus associated with multisite chronic pain in both sexes and is an established risk gene for major depression, with genetic correlation to mood and depressive symptoms.
