Potential Shared Immunometabolic Signatures Between Familial Hypercholesterolemia and Major Depressive Disorder: Integrative Transcriptomic Analysis, Mendelian Randomization, and Clinical Validation.

Abstract excerpt

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) has been associated with an increased risk of major depressive disorder (MDD), but their shared molecular signatures remain unclear. This study aimed to identify candidate genes associated with FH-MDD co-occurrence through integrative transcriptomic analysis, machine learning, summary-data-based Mendelian randomization (SMR), and clinical validation. Transcriptomic datasets from...
