Proteogenomic signature of Alzheimer's disease and related dementia risk in individuals with major depressive disorder.

ABSTRACT: The mechanisms linking a history of major depressive disorder (MDD) to an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease and related dementia (ADRD) are not fully understood. Using the UK Biobank, we evaluated the biological mechanisms linking both conditions. In participants without history of MDD, 493 proteins were significantly associated with the risk of ADRD. In contrast, in participants with a history of MDD at baseline, a smaller set of 6 proteins were significantly associated ADRD risk (NfL, GFAP, PSG1. VGF, GET3, and HPGDS), with GET3 being specifically associated with ADRD risk in the latter group. Two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis ahowed that the APOE and IL-10 receptor subunit B genes were causally linked to incident ADRD. Finally, we developed a Proteomic Risk Score (PrRS
