Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A growing body of evidence supports the comorbidity between depression (DEP) and obesity, yet the genetic mechanisms underlying this association remain unclear. Our study explored the shared genetic architecture and causal associations of DEP with BMI. METHODS: We investigated the multigene overlap and genetic correlation between DEP (N > 1.3 million) and BMI (N = 806,834) based on genome-wide...
