Multi-ancestry GWAS of major depression aids locus discovery, fine-mapping, gene prioritisation, and causal inference

TL;DR: This first multi-ancestry genome-wide association study of major depression demonstrates the importance of large diverse samples for the identification of target genes and putative mechanisms.
