Abstract excerpt
Psychiatric disorders, including bipolar disorder (BD), major depressive disorder (MDD), and schizophrenia (SCZ), share substantial genetic overlap. We conducted a cross-ancestry multivariate genome-wide association study (GWAS) integrating European and East Asian populations to uncover shared genetic underpinnings. Our analyses identified 403 loci associated with shared polygenic liability to psychiatric...
