  • Minimal phenotyping yields genome-wide association signals of low specificity for major depression - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 32231276

    ABSTRACT: Minimal phenotyping refers to the reliance on the use of a small number of self-reported items for disease case identification, increasingly used in genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Here we report differences in genetic architecture between depression defined by minimal phenotyping and strictly defined major depressive disorder (MDD): the former has a lower genotype-derived heritability that cannot be explained by inclusion of milder cases and a higher proportion of the genome contributing to this shared genetic liability with other conditions than for strictly defined MDD. GWAS based on minimal phenotyping definitions preferentially identifies loci that are not specific to MDD, and, although it generates highly predictive polygenic risk scores, the predictive power can be

  • Identification of 15 genetic loci associated with risk of major depression in individuals of European descent - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 27479909

    ABSTRACT: Despite strong evidence supporting the heritability of Major Depressive Disorder, previous genome-wide studies were unable to identify risk loci among individuals of European descent. We used self-reported data from 75,607 individuals reporting clinical diagnosis of depression and 231,747 reporting no history of depression through 23andMe, and meta-analyzed these results with published MDD GWAS results. We identified five independent variants from four regions associated with self-report of clinical diagnosis or treatment for depression. Loci with pval<1.0×10−5 in the meta-analysis were further analyzed in a replication dataset (45,773 cases and 106,354 controls) from 23andMe. A total of 17 independent SNPs from 15 regions reached genome-wide significance after joint-analysis
