The paper develops pathway-specific polygenic scores to predict lithium treatment response in bipolar disorder and finds associations with specific biological pathways.

Meta-analysis of 41,917 European-ancestry bipolar disorder cases versus 371,549 controls yields 64 risk loci (33 novel), neuronal and synaptic gene enrichment, and 15 eQTL-prioritized genes.

The paper examines common genetic variants' contribution to bipolar disorder risk in multiplex families and finds higher polygenic risk scores in affected individuals compared to controls and unaffected family members.

This study identifies 73 genome-wide significant loci for mood disorders, revealing shared and distinct genetic factors between major depressive disorder and bipolar disorder.

This study identifies 30 genome-wide significant loci associated with bipolar disorder, including novel genes involved in ion channels, neurotransmitters, and synaptic components.

The paper shows that polygenic scores for depression traits predict lithium response in bipolar disorder patients, with lower genetic load linked to better treatment outcomes.

This study finds that a higher genetic risk for schizophrenia is linked to poorer lithium response in bipolar disorder patients, suggesting potential for personalized treatment strategies.
