Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Patients diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are often observed to suffer from co-occurring major depressive disorder (MDD). Although the precise mechanisms remain elusive, there is a possibility of a genetic overlap between these conditions. METHODS: Genome-wide association study data collected from two IBD cohorts alongside one MDD cohort were analyzed. Initially, linkage disequilibrium...
