Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association analyses identify 44 risk variants and refine the genetic architecture of major depression

Naomi R. Wray, +262 more
- 26 Apr 2018 - 
TL;DR: A genome-wide association meta-analysis of individuals with clinically assessed or self-reported depression identifies 44 independent and significant loci and finds important relationships of genetic risk for major depression with educational attainment, body mass, and schizophrenia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genomic Relationships, Novel Loci, and Pleiotropic Mechanisms across Eight Psychiatric Disorders

Phil Lee, +606 more
- 12 Dec 2019 - 
TL;DR: Genetic influences on psychiatric disorders transcend diagnostic boundaries, suggesting substantial pleiotropy of contributing loci within genes that show heightened expression in the brain throughout the lifespan, beginning prenatally in the second trimester, and play prominent roles in neurodevelopmental processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sparse whole-genome sequencing identifies two loci for major depressive disorder

Na Cai, +108 more
- 30 Jul 2015 - 
TL;DR: Using low-coverage whole-genome sequencing of 5,303 Chinese women with recurrent MDD selected to reduce phenotypic heterogeneity, and 5,337 controls screened to exclude MDD, two loci contributing to risk of MDD on chromosome 10 are identified: one near the SIRT1 gene and the other in an intron of the LHPP gene.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis of polygenic risk score usage and performance in diverse human populations

TL;DR: Findings highlight the need for improved treatment of linkage disequilibrium and variant frequencies when applying polygenic scoring to cohorts of non-European ancestry, and bolster the rationale for large-scale GWAS in diverse human populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transancestral GWAS of alcohol dependence reveals common genetic underpinnings with psychiatric disorders

Raymond K. Walters, +171 more
- 26 Nov 2018 - 
TL;DR: The largest genome-wide association study to date of DSM-IV-diagnosed AD found loci associated with AD and characterized the relationship between AD and other psychiatric and behavioral outcomes, underscoring the genetic distinction between pathological and nonpathological drinking behaviors.
