• Multi-ancestry genome-wide association study of major depression aids locus discovery, fine mapping, gene prioritization and causal inference - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 38177345

  ABSTRACT: Most genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of major depression (MD) have been conducted in samples of European ancestry. Here we report a multi-ancestry GWAS of MD, adding data from 21 cohorts with 88,316 MD cases and 902,757 controls to previously reported data. This analysis used a range of measures to define MD and included samples of African (36% of effective sample size), East Asian (26%) and South Asian (6%) ancestry and Hispanic/Latin American participants (32%). The multi-ancestry GWAS identified 53 significantly associated novel loci. For loci from GWAS in European ancestry samples, fewer than expected were transferable to other ancestry groups. Fine mapping benefited from additional sample diversity. A transcriptome-wide association study identified 205 significantly a

• Association analysis in over 329,000 individuals identifies 116 independent variants influencing neuroticism - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 29255261

  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
