    ABSTRACT: Neuroticism is a relatively stable personality trait characterised by negative emotionality (e.g., worry, guilt); twin study heritability ranges 30 to 50%, and SNP-based heritability ranges 6 to 15%. Increased neuroticism is associated with poorer mental and physical health, translating to high economic burden. Genome-wide association (GWA) studies of neuroticism have identified up to 11 genetic loci. Here we report 116 significant independent loci from a GWA of neuroticism in 329,821 UK Biobank participants; 15 of these replicated at P<.00045 in an unrelated cohort (N = 122,867). Genetic signals were enriched in neuronal genesis and differentiation pathways, and substantial genetic correlations were found between neuroticism and depressive symptoms (rg = .82, SE=.03), major depr
