Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Postpartum depression (PPD) is one of the most common and debilitating complications of childbirth, yet the candidate proteins linking genetic risk to disease remain poorly defined. Building on recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS), we sought to integrate cross-tissue proteogenomic data to identify candidate proteins for PPD and explore therapeutic opportunities. METHODS: We conducted...
