GENETIC UNDERPINNINGS OF TREATMENT-RESISTANT DEPRESSION: INSIGHTS FROM THE PSYCHSTRATA CONSORTIUM
Depressive Symptoms in Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) are primarily treated with antidepressant medication. However, a substantial proportion of patients do not achieve a meaningful symptom improvement, even after multiple medication trials, posing a major clinical and public health challenge. Investigating the genetic underpinnings of treatment-resistant depression (TRD) may potentially reveal biological components that contribute to poor treatment outcomes.
Through the PsychSTRATA consortium, we aim to investigate the biological basis of treatment resistance across major psychiatric disorders, including MDD, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. In this study, we focus specifically on the genetic basis of TRD within MDD by performing a genome-wide associations study comparing individuals with and without TRD. In collaboration with many international sites and the antidepressant working group of the PGC, we collated and harmonized data from clinical studies, large-scale biobanks, and population-based cohorts, using electronic healthcare records (EHR), structured clinical interviews, and self-report questionnaires to define TRD.
Analyses are currently ongoing and leverage data from ∼265,000 individuals with MDD, of whom ∼39,500 were classified as TRD and ∼225,500 as non-TRD. Planned analyses include a GWAS meta-analysis, SNP-based heritability estimation, polygenic risk scoring, and comparisons across definitions to characterize the genetic architecture of TRD and validate genetic findings.
Our results will lead to an improved understanding of the pharmacogenetic mechanisms underlying TRD and help to identify both disorder-specific and shared genetic contributions with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Ultimately, this may inform the development of targeted or novel pharmacological strategies for individuals with treatment resistance.
期刊介绍:
European Neuropsychopharmacology is the official publication of the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ECNP). In accordance with the mission of the College, the journal focuses on clinical and basic science contributions that advance our understanding of brain function and human behaviour and enable translation into improved treatments and enhanced public health impact in psychiatry. Recent years have been characterized by exciting advances in basic knowledge and available experimental techniques in neuroscience and genomics. However, clinical translation of these findings has not been as rapid. The journal aims to narrow this gap by promoting findings that are expected to have a major impact on both our understanding of the biological bases of mental disorders and the development and improvement of treatments, ideally paving the way for prevention and recovery.
