Experiment summary

This study performed a meta-analysis of GWAS for postpartum depression across a European cohort (totaling 17339 cases and 53426 controls). While no genome-wide significant loci were identified, the analysis estimated SNP-heritability (~0.14) and reported significant genetic correlations with related psychiatric and reproductive traits; cell-type enrichment highlighted inhibitory and cholinergic neuronal populations.
