Our study investigated the shared genetic etiology underlying type 2 diabetes (T2D) and major depressive disorder (MDD) by analyzing large-scale genome wide association studies statistics. A total of 496 shared SNPs associated with both T2D and MDD were identified at p-value ≤ 1.0E-07. Functional enrichment analysis showed that the enriched pathways pertained to immune responses (Fc gamma R-mediated phagocytosis, T cell and B cell receptors signaling), cell signaling (MAPK, Wnt signaling), lipid metabolism, and cancer associated pathways. The findings will have potential implications for future interventional studies of the two diseases.
我们的研究通过分析大规模全基因组关联研究统计数据,调查了2型糖尿病(T2D)和重度抑郁症(MDD)潜在的共同遗传病因。在p值≤1.0E - 07的情况下,共鉴定出496个与T2D和MDD均相关的单核苷酸多态性(SNP)。功能富集分析表明,富集的通路涉及免疫反应(FcγR介导的吞噬作用、T细胞和B细胞受体信号传导)、细胞信号传导(丝裂原活化蛋白激酶、Wnt信号传导)、脂质代谢以及癌症相关通路。这些发现将对这两种疾病未来的干预性研究具有潜在意义。
