The paper investigates polygenic and familial factors influencing antidepressant treatment outcomes in two cohorts, finding associations between depression polygenic scores and treatment switching, with some links to schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

The paper identifies polygenic score differences between antidepressant responders and difficult-to-treat depression groups in the AGDS:Cell-o cohort, suggesting biological distinctions and potential for early stratification.

This paper benchmarks 20 methods for mapping trait-cell type associations by integrating GWAS and scRNA-seq data, finding CATCH to be the most robust approach.
