Abstract excerpt
Anxiety is the most prevalent form of mental illness in the United States. We aimed to identify genetic variation underlying anxiety in diverse ancestral populations through integrating genomic and brain transcriptomic data. We analyzed genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics, using the "Worrier/Anxious Feelings" phenotype from Pan-UK Biobank. We identified 67 independent significant loci in the...
