• Overlapping common genetic architecture between major depressive disorders and anxiety and stress-related disorders. - Progress in neuro-psychopharmacology & biological psychiatry (2022) · Mei L, Gao Y, Chen M, Zhang X, Yue W, Zhang D, Yu H · PubMed 34634379

  Major depressive disorders (MDDs) and anxiety and stress-related disorders (ASRDs) have overlapping symptoms and high rates of comorbidity. However, the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. Here, we aimed to examine whether MDD and ASRD share genetic risk factors utilizing recent large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWASs). To examine the genetic overlap between MDD and ASRD, we applied genetic correlation analysis to analyze GWAS summary statistics for MDD (16,823 cases and 25,632 controls) and ASRD (12,665 cases and 19,225 controls). We found positive and significant genetic correlations between MDD and ASRD (GNOVA: rho = 0.59, se = 0.01, P = 5.32 × 10 ). Our latent causal variable (LCV) analysis indicated the genetic correlation result from pleiotropic effects
