Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD) commonly experience neuropsychiatric symptoms of psychosis (AD+P) and/or affective disturbance (depression, anxiety, and/or irritability, AD+A). This study's goal was to identify the genetic architecture of AD+P and AD+A, as well as their genetically correlated phenotypes.
METHODS
Genome-wide association meta-analysis of 9988 AD participants from six source studies with participants characterized for AD+P AD+A, and a joint phenotype (AD+A+P).
RESULTS
AD+P and AD+A were genetically correlated. However, AD+P and AD+A diverged in their genetic correlations with psychiatric phenotypes in individuals without AD. AD+P was negatively genetically correlated with bipolar disorder and positively with depressive symptoms. AD+A was positively correlated with anxiety disorder and more strongly correlated than AD+P with depressive symptoms. AD+P and AD+A+P had significant estimated heritability, whereas AD+A did not. Examination of the loci most strongly associated with the three phenotypes revealed overlapping and unique associations.
DISCUSSION
AD+P, AD+A, and AD+A+P have both shared and divergent genetic associations pointing to the importance of incorporating genetic insights into future treatment development.
Highlights
It has long been known that psychotic and affective symptoms are often comorbid in individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Here we examined for the first time the genetic architecture underlying this clinical observation, determining that psychotic and affective phenotypes in Alzheimer's disease are genetically correlated.
Nevertheless, psychotic and affective phenotypes in Alzheimer's disease diverged in their genetic correlations with psychiatric phenotypes assessed in individuals without Alzheimer's disease. Psychosis in Alzheimer's disease was negatively genetically correlated with bipolar disorder and positively with depressive symptoms, whereas the affective phenotypes in Alzheimer's disease were positively correlated with anxiety disorder and more strongly correlated than psychosis with depressive symptoms.
Psychosis in Alzheimer's disease, and the joint psychotic and affective phenotype, had significant estimated heritability, whereas the affective in AD did not.
Examination of the loci most strongly associated with the psychotic, affective, or joint phenotypes revealed overlapping and unique associations.
期刊介绍：
Alzheimer''s & Dementia: Translational Research & Clinical Interventions (TRCI) is a peer-reviewed, open access,journal from the Alzheimer''s Association®. The journal seeks to bridge the full scope of explorations between basic research on drug discovery and clinical studies, validating putative therapies for aging-related chronic brain conditions that affect cognition, motor functions, and other behavioral or clinical symptoms associated with all forms dementia and Alzheimer''s disease. The journal will publish findings from diverse domains of research and disciplines to accelerate the conversion of abstract facts into practical knowledge: specifically, to translate what is learned at the bench into bedside applications. The journal seeks to publish articles that go beyond a singular emphasis on either basic drug discovery research or clinical research. Rather, an important theme of articles will be the linkages between and among the various discrete steps in the complex continuum of therapy development. For rapid communication among a multidisciplinary research audience involving the range of therapeutic interventions, TRCI will consider only original contributions that include feature length research articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, brief reports, narrative reviews, commentaries, letters, perspectives, and research news that would advance wide range of interventions to ameliorate symptoms or alter the progression of chronic neurocognitive disorders such as dementia and Alzheimer''s disease. The journal will publish on topics related to medicine, geriatrics, neuroscience, neurophysiology, neurology, psychiatry, clinical psychology, bioinformatics, pharmaco-genetics, regulatory issues, health economics, pharmacoeconomics, and public health policy as these apply to preclinical and clinical research on therapeutics.
