Association of polygenic risk for major psychiatric illness with subcortical volumes and white matter integrity in UK Biobank
Major depressive disorder (MDD), schizophrenia (SCZ) and bipolar disorder (BP) are common, disabling and heritable psychiatric diseases with a complex overlapping polygenic architecture. Individuals with these disorders, as well as their unaffected relatives, show widespread structural differences in corticostriatal and limbic networks. Structural variation in many of these brain regions is als...
متن کاملEvidence for association between familial bipolar risk and ventral striatal volume.
BACKGROUND Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of striatal volumes and bipolar disorder (BD) indicate these traits are heritable and share common genetic architecture, however little independent work has been conducted to help establish this relationship. METHODS Subcortical volumes (mm3) of young, healthy offspring of BD (N= 32) and major depressive disorder (MDD) patients (N= 158)...
متن کاملMajor Depressive Disorder as the First Presentation of Panhypopituitarism: A Case Report
Pan-hypopituitarism is a rare but life threatening disorder that occurs due to reduction of anterior pituitary hormones. In this condition, major depressive disorders are presented by depressed mood and markedly diminished interest in many activities during a day. Some disorders are associated with psychiatric symptoms at presentation, therefore, the diagnosis of mood disorder due to a medical ...
متن کاملGenetic and environmental determinants of stressful life events
Stressful life events (SLEs) and neuroticism are risk factors for Background: major depressive disorder (MDD). However, SLEs and neuroticism are heritable and genetic risk for SLEs is correlated with risk for MDD. We sought to investigate the genetic and environmental contributions to SLEs in a family-based sample, and quantify genetic overlap with MDD and neuroticism. A subset of Generation Sc...
متن کاملHippocampal volume changes in healthy subjects at risk of unipolar depression.
Unipolar depression is moderately heritable. It is unclear whether structural brain changes associated with unipolar depression are present in healthy persons at risk of the disorder. Here we investigated whether a genetic predisposition to unipolar depression is associated with structural brain changes. A priori, hippocampal volume reductions were hypothesized. Using a high-risk study design, ...
