This study identifies genetic differences between fear-based anxiety disorders and generalised anxiety disorder using GWAS, finding partial genetic distinction and shared liability to internalising psychopathology.

This study identifies genetic risk factors for panic attacks and disorder through genome-wide meta-analysis and links them to multiple body systems and neuronal functions.

This study finds that depression with atypical neurovegetative symptoms has distinct genetic links to immune-metabolic traits and alcohol consumption.

This study identifies five novel genome-wide significant loci for anxiety disorders and finds significant genetic correlations with depression, insomnia, and coronary artery disease.

This study conducts the largest genetic association analysis of psychotic experiences in the UK Biobank, identifying four genome-wide significant loci and showing shared genetic risk with schizophrenia, depression, bipolar disorder, and neurodevelopmental disorders.

The paper identifies genetic loci associated with email contact and mental health survey participation in two cohorts, finding genetic correlations with education, health, and psychological distress.

This study investigates the genetic and environmental links between major depressive disorder and traumatic experiences using UK Biobank data, finding shared genetic factors and distinct patterns in trauma-exposed individuals.

The paper evaluates 42 inflammatory markers in MDD cases and controls, finding strong confounding effects and limited predictive power of individual markers for MDD diagnosis.
