Uncovering plasma protein biomarkers linked to depression: A differential abundance analysis and Mendelian randomization using large-scale data

Several plasma proteins were associated with depression and enriched in immune-inflammatory pathways, though causal evidence was limited. Their druggability underscores the repurposing opportunities for immune dysregulations related to depression.

Abstract

Several plasma proteins were associated with depression and enriched in immune-inflammatory pathways, though causal evidence was limited. Their druggability underscores the repurposing opportunities for immune dysregulations related to depression.
