Abstract excerpt
Previous genome-wide association studies of depression have primarily focused on common variants, limiting our comprehensive understanding of the genetic architecture. In contrast, whole-exome sequencing can capture rare coding variants, helping to explore the phenotypic consequences of altering protein-coding genes. Here, we conducted a large-scale exome-wide association study on 296,199 participants from the UK...
