  • Genetic correlation, shared loci, but no causality between bipolar disorder and inflammatory bowel disease: A genome-wide pleiotropic analysis. - Journal of affective disorders (2024) · Wang BR, Wang J, Tian T, Zhang SX, Zhao YQ, Meng SY, Wu ZY, Huang F, Zeng J, Ni J · PubMed 38154582

    The comorbidity between bipolar disorder (BD) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been widely reported in observational studies. However, unclear whether this comorbidity reflects a shared genetic architecture. Leveraging large-scale genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics of BD, IBD and its subtypes, ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), we performed a genome-wide pleiotropic analysis to estimate heritability and genetic correlation, identify pleiotropy loci/genes, and explore the shared biological pathway. Mendelian randomization (MR) studies were subsequently employed to infer whether the potential causal relationship is present. We found a positive significant genetic correlation between BD and IBD (r = 0.10, P = 7.00 × 10 ), UC (r = 0.09, P = 

  • Genome-wide association study of over 40,000 bipolar disorder cases provides new insights into the underlying biology - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34002096

    ABSTRACT: Bipolar disorder (BD) is a heritable mental illness with complex etiology. We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 41,917 BD cases and 371,549 controls of European ancestry, which identified 64 associated genomic loci. BD risk alleles were enriched in genes in synaptic signaling pathways and brain-expressed genes, particularly those with high specificity of expression in neurons of the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus. Significant signal enrichment was found in genes encoding targets of antipsychotics, calcium channel blockers, antiepileptics, and anesthetics. Integrating eQTL data implicated 15 genes robustly linked to BD via gene expression, encoding druggable targets such as HTR6, MCHR1, DCLK3 and FURIN. Analyses of BD subtypes indicated high but imperfect gene
