Abstract:Innovation in psychiatric therapeutics has stagnated on a handful of known mechanisms. Psychiatric genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have begun to identify hundreds of genome-wide significant (GWS) loci and characterize complex polygenic architectures. These data have rapidly advanced our understanding of disease etiology but their ability to inform clinical treatment in psychiatry remains largely unexplored. Here, we show that large psychiatric GWASs (schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depressive di… Show more
