Abstract

Individuals diagnosed with major depressive disorder not responding to at least two adequate treatments are defined as treatment-refractory major depressive disorder (TR-MDD). Some TR-MDD patients have altered metabolic phenotypes that may be pharmacologically reversed. The characterization of these phenotypes and their underlying etiologies is paramount, particularly their genetic components. In this study, TR-MDD patients (n = 124) were recruited and metabolites were quantified in their cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and peripheral blood. Three sub-categories of deficiencies were examined, namely 5-methyltetrahydrofolte (in CSF; n = 13), tetrahydrobiopterin (in CSF; n = 11), and abnormal acylcarnitine profiles (in peripheral blood; n = 8). Whole exome sequencing was performed on genomic DNA from the entire TR-MDD cohort and exonic variant allele frequencies for cases were compared to a control cohort (1:5 matching on ancestry). Low frequency, damaging alleles were identified and used for in silico pathway analyses. Three association signals for TR-MDD approached genome-wide significance on chromosomes 22, 7, and 3. Three risk-associated variants from a prior depression study were replicated. Relevant biological pathways were ident...Continue Reading
