Abstract excerpt
Inflammation and depression have been consistently associated, with elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) levels observed in a significant subset of affected individuals. However, the genetic mechanisms underlying this association remain poorly understood. We integrated results from large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of depression and CRP levels in a cross-trait analysis specifically focusing on...
