Molecular studies may provide novel insights into treatment prediction and guide personalized therapy.ObjectiveTo investigate the association of polygenic risk scores (PRS) for schizophrenia (SCZ), major depressive disorder (MDD), and bipolar disorder (BIP) with clinical outcomes after lithium augmentation.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis cohort study analyzed prospectively assessed treatment outcomes in patients who underwent lithium augmentation. Disorder-specific PRS were calculated using well-powered genome-wide association study summary statistics. Participants were recruited from 13 psychiatric hospitals, primarily in the greater Berlin area, between 2008 and 2020. They were patients with MDD who showed inadequate response to at least 1 antidepressant, a baseline score of 12 or more on the 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-17), adequate treatment duration (≥4 weeks), and no diagnostic or co-medication changes. Data analysis was conducted between June 2022 and November 2023.ExposurePolygenic risk scores for MDD, SCZ, or BIP.Main Outcomes and MeasuresResponse was defined as a 50% or greater reduction in HAMD-17 score, remission as a HAMD-17 score of 7 or less. Cox proportional hazards models, adjusted for ancestry, demographic, and clinical covariates, were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) for favorable outcomes.ResultsAmong 193 patients (mean [SD] age, 49.5 [13.4] years; 118 [61.1%] female and 75 [38.9%] male), higher BIP-PRS were associated with both response (HR, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.02-1.63; <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> = .03) and remission (HR, 1.52; 95% CI, 1.14-2.04; <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> = .004), explaining 2.51% and 4.53% of the variability in treatment outcomes, respectively. Individuals in the highest tertile of the BIP-PRS distribution had a 2.02-fold (95% CI, 1.15-3.53) higher likelihood of response and a 2.26-fold (95% CI, 1.17-4.36) higher chance of remission compared with those in the lowest tertile. Additionally, lower MDD-PRS was associated with better response to lithium augmentation (HR, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.66-1.00; <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> = .048; Nagelkerke <jats:italic>R</jats:italic><jats:sup>2</jats:sup> = 1.99%).
