A phenome-wide association and Mendelian Randomisation study of polygenic risk for depression in UK Biobank

Depression is correlated with many brain-related traits. Here, Shen et al. perform phenome-wide association studies of a depression polygenic risk score (PRS) and find associations with 51 behavioural and 26 neuroimaging traits which are further followed up on using Mendelian randomization and media...
