Shared genetic liability and causal effects between major depressive disorder and insomnia

Ancha Baranova et al.

Summary: This study reveals a significant shared genetic liability and mutual causal relationship between major depressive disorder (MDD) and insomnia. By uncovering novel connections between these two interconnected conditions, the findings provide new insights into the phenotypic relationship between them.

Mechanistic analysis of erectile dysfunction in a depression rat model

Zhi-ming Hong et al.

Summary: This study explored the effect of depression on erectile function in rats and the underlying mechanism. The results showed pathological damage in the penile tissue of the depression rat model, along with lower levels of serum dopamine, dopamine receptor D2, and solute carrier family 6 member 3 (SLC6A3) in penile tissue. Furthermore, the mRNA levels of dopamine receptor D2 and SLC6A3 were also lower in the depression rat model. These findings suggest that the decrease in erectile function in the rat model of depression is related to dysfunction of the dopamine system and dopaminergic synapse signaling pathway.

Associations between sleep duration and cardiovascular diseases: A meta-review and meta-analysis of observational and Mendelian randomization studies

Shanshan Wang et al.

Summary: The relationship between sleep duration and cardiovascular diseases has been explored in observational studies, but the causality remains unclear. This meta-analysis examined the impact of sleep duration on the risk of cardiovascular diseases using observational and Mendelian randomization studies. The results suggest that short sleep duration may be a causal risk factor for coronary artery disease and heart failure, while long sleep duration is associated with the risk of coronary artery disease, stroke, and mortality, but lacks causal associations in Mendelian randomization studies. Increasing sleep duration may benefit cardiovascular health.

Genetic Variation Mediating Neuroticism's Influence on Cardiovascular Diseases

Fuquan Zhang et al.

Summary: This study finds substantial polygenic overlaps between neuroticism and cardiovascular diseases, with genetic liability to neuroticism exerting causal effects on cardiovascular diseases. A panel of shared pleiotropic genes suggests a potential role of a specific pathway in the relationship.

Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology Using Mendelian Randomization: The STROBE-MR Statement

Veronika W. Skrivankova et al.

Summary: The STROBE-MR Statement was developed to guide the reporting of MR studies by providing a checklist tailored to MR studies, which could improve the evaluation and interpretation of these studies by editors, peer reviewers, researchers, clinicians, and other readers.

Strengthening the reporting of observational studies in epidemiology using mendelian randomisation (STROBE-MR): explanation and elaboration

Veronika W. Skrivankova et al.

Summary: Mendelian randomisation (MR) studies provide insights into causal effects of modifiable exposures on health outcomes, but are often hindered by inadequate reporting. Reporting guidelines like STROBE-MR help authors communicate critical information clearly and transparently, aiding in evaluating the quality of published studies for readers, reviewers, and journal editors.

Summary: Genetically predicted short sleep duration may be a potential causal risk factor for several cardiovascular diseases, while genetically predicted long sleep duration is unlikely to be a causal risk factor for most cardiovascular diseases.

Causal influences of neuroticism on mental health and cardiovascular disease

Fuquan Zhang et al.

Summary: The study found that neuroticism is genetically correlated with most health-related traits, and has causal effects on 12 mental traits and two physical diseases. Conversely, major depressive disorder, subjective well-being, and insomnia also have causal effects on neuroticism.

Shared Genetic Liability and Causal Associations Between Major Depressive Disorder and Cardiovascular Diseases

Fuquan Zhang et al.

Summary: Research indicates that there is a genetic correlation and polygenic overlap between major depressive disorder (MDD) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD), with genetic liability to MDD potentially causing conditions like coronary artery disease (CAD) and stroke.
