Major depression and atherosclerotic disease: Linking shared genetics to pathways in blood, brain, heart, and atherosclerotic plaques
2025-07-11
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> The increased risk of atherosclerotic diseases (stroke, coronary artery disease [CAD]) observed in depression may stem from shared pathophysiology. We examined whether: 1) major depression (MD) and atherosclerotic traits share genetic risk, and 2) altered gene expression in various tissues linked to shared genetics has a potential causal role in depression etiology. <h4>Methods</h4> Data from...
