BACKGROUND: Mood disorders (including major depressive disorder and bipolar disorder) affect 10% to 20% of the population. They range from brief, mild episodes to severe, incapacitating conditions that markedly impact lives. Multiple approaches have shown considerable sharing of risk factors across mood disorders despite their diagnostic distinction. METHODS: To clarify the shared molecular genetic basis of major depressive disorder and bipolar disorder and to highlight disorder-specific associations, we meta-analyzed data from the latest Psychiatric Genomics Consortium genome-wide association studies of major depression (including data from 23andMe) and bipolar disorder, and an additional major depressive disorder cohort from UK Biobank (total: 185,285 cases, 439,741 controls; nonoverlapping Nย = 609,424). RESULTS: Seventy-three loci reached genome-wide significance in the meta-analysis, including 15 that are novel for mood disorders. More loci from the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium analysis of major depression than from that for bipolar disorder reached genome-wide significance. Genetic correlations revealed that type 2 bipolar disorder correlates strongly with recurrent and single-episode major depressive disorder. Systems biology analyses highlight both similarities and differences between the mood disorders, particularly in the mouse brain cell types implicated by the expression patterns of associated genes. The mood disorders also differ in their genetic correlation with educational attainment-the relationship is positive in bipolar disorder but negative in major depressive disorder. CONCLUSIONS: The mood disorders share several genetic associations, and genetic studies of major depressive disorder and bipolar disorder can be combined effectively to enable the discovery of variants not identified by studying either disorder alone. However, we demonstrate several differences between these disorders. Analyzing subtypes of major depressive disorder and bipolar disorder provides evidence for a genetic mood disorders spectrum.
Selected genetic correlations of psychiatric traits with the main meta-analysis (MOOD), the separate mood disorder analyses (combined MDD and PGC BD), and the down-sampled analyses (down-sampled MOOD, down-sampled MDD). Full genetic correlation results are provided in Supplementary Table 5.
LLM interpretation
This figure is a correlation matrix displaying genetic correlations between various psychiatric traits (rows) and different mood disorder analyses (columns). The values range from strong positive correlations (e.g., 1.00 for Major depressive disorder) to strong negative correlations (e.g., -0.89 for Wellbeing spectrum). The columns compare the main mood disorders meta-analysis, down-sampled versions, and specific analyses for Major depressive disorder and Bipolar disorder.
Selected genetic correlations of other traits with the main meta-analysis (MOOD), the separate mood disorder analyses (combined MDD and PGC BD), and the down-sampled analyses (down-sampled MOOD, down-sampled MDD). Full genetic correlation results are provided in Supplementary Table 5.
LLM interpretation
This figure is a table of genetic correlation coefficients ($r_g$) between various traits (rows) and different mood disorder analyses (columns). Each cell contains a numerical correlation value and a corresponding horizontal error bar representing the confidence interval. The traits analyzed include insomnia, years of schooling, intelligence, coronary artery disease, age at first birth, body mass index, and household income.
SNP-based heritability estimates for the subtypes of bipolar disorder and subtypes of major depressive disorder. Points = SNP-based heritability estimates. Lines = 95% confidence intervals. Full SNP-based heritability results are provided in Supplementary Table 2.
LLM interpretation
This figure is a dot plot showing SNP-based heritability estimates ($\text{SNP } h^2$) on a liability scale for six psychiatric subtypes. The x-axis lists the analyses, including subtypes of bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder, while the y-axis represents the heritability estimate. Each point indicates the estimate, with vertical lines representing the 95% confidence intervals; the highest estimate and widest confidence interval are observed for schizoaffective bipolar disorder.
Genetic correlations across the mood disorder spectrum. Labelled arrows show genetic correlations significantly different from 0. Solid arrows represent genetic correlations not significantly different from 1 (p < 0.00333, Bonferroni correction for 15 tests). Full results are provided in Supplementary Table 8.
LLM interpretation
This is a network diagram illustrating genetic correlations between six mood disorder categories, represented by colored nodes. Double-headed arrows connect the disorders, with numerical values indicating the correlation coefficients. Solid arrows denote correlations that are significantly different from 0 and not significantly different from 1 (p < 0.00333), while dotted arrows represent correlations significantly different from 0 but distinct from 1.
Cell-type expression specificity of genes associated with bipolar disorder (PGC BIP, left) and major depressive disorder (combined MDD, right). Black vertical lines = significant enrichment (p < 2ร10โ3, Bonferroni correction for 24 cell types). See Supplementary Table 10 for full results.
LLM interpretation
This figure consists of two mirrored horizontal bar charts showing cell-type expression specificity for genes associated with bipolar disorder (left) and major depressive disorder (right). The x-axes represent the $\log_{10}(\text{p-value})$ and $-\log_{10}(\text{p-value})$, respectively, with black vertical lines indicating the threshold for significant enrichment ($p < 2 \times 10^{-3}$). Several cell types, including pyramidal CA1 and Medium Spiny Neurons, show significant enrichment across both disorders, while others, such as Neuroblasts, show significance only for major depressive disorder.
GSMR results from analyses with the main meta-analysis (MOOD), and the major depression and bipolar disorder analyses (combined MDD, PGC BD). External traits are coronary artery disease (CAD), educational attainment (EDU), body mass index (BMI), and schizophrenia (SCZ). Betas are on the scale of the outcome GWAS (logit for binary traits, phenotype scale for continuous). * p < 0.004 (Bonferroni correction for two-way comparisons with six external traits). For figure data, including the number of non-pleiotropic SNPs included in each instrument, see Supplementary Table 12.
LLM interpretation
This figure consists of a series of forest plots showing GSMR results for causal relationships between mood disorders (MOOD, Combined MDD, PGC BD) and four external traits (CAD, EDU, BMI, SCZ). The left column displays effects of other traits on mood disorders, while the right column displays effects of mood disorders on other traits, with the x-axis representing the Beta coefficient. Asterisks (*) denote statistically significant results (p < 0.004) following Bonferroni correction.
