    Collaborative meta-analysis finds no evidence of a strong interaction between stress and 5-HTTLPR genotype contributing to the development of depression
    (Nature Publishing Group, 2018-01) Culverhouse, Robert C.; Saccone, Nancy L.; Horton, Amy C.; Ma, Yinjiao; Anstey, Kaarin J.; Banaschewski, Tobias; Burmeister, Margit; Cohen-Woods, Sarah; Etain, Bruno; Fisher, Helen L.; Goldman, Noreen; Guillaume, Sébastien; Horwood, John; Juhasz, Gabriella; Lester, Kathryn J.; Mandelli, Laura; Middeldorp, Christel M.; Olié, Emilie; Villafuerte, Sandra; Air, Tracy M.; Araya, Ricardo; Bowes, Lucy; Burns, Richard; Byrne, Enda M.; Coffey, Carolyn; Coventry, William L.; Gawronski, Katerina; Glei, Dana; Hatzimanolis, Alex; Hottenga, Jouke-Jan; Jaussent, Isabelle; Jawahar, Catharine; Jennen-Steinmetz, Christine; Kramer, John R.; Lajnef, Mohamed; Little, Keriann; zu Schwabedissen, Henriette Meyer; Nauck, Matthias; Nederhof, Esther; Petschner, Peter; Peyrot, Wouter J.; Schwahn, Christian; Sinnamon, Grant; Stacey, David; Tian, Yan; Toben, Catherine; Auwera, Sandra Van der; Wainwright, Nick; Wang, Jen-Chyong; Willemsen, Gonneke; Anderson, Ian M.; Arolt, Volker; Åslund, Cecilia; Bagdy, Gyorgy; Baune, Bernhard T.; Bellivier, Frank; Boomsma, Dorret I.; Courtet, Philippe; Dannlowski, Udo; de Geus, Eco J.C.; Deakin, John F.

    The hypothesis that the S allele of the 5-HTTLPR serotonin transporter promoter region is associated with increased risk of depression, but only in individuals exposed to stressful situations, has generated much interest, research, and controversy since first proposed in 2003. Multiple meta-analyses combining results from heterogeneous analyses have not settled the issue. To determine the magnitude of the interaction and the conditions under which it might be observed, we performed new analyses on 31 datasets containing 38 802 European-ancestry subjects genotyped for 5-HTTLPR and assessed for depression and childhood maltreatment or other stressful life events, and meta-analyzed the results. Analyses targeted two stressors (narrow, broad) and two depression outcomes (current, lifetime). All groups that published on this topic prior to the initiation of our study and met the assessment and sample size criteria were invited to participate. Additional groups, identified by consortium members or self-identified in response to our protocol (published prior to the start of analysis1) with qualifying unpublished data were also invited to participate. A uniform data analysis script implementing the protocol was executed by each of the consortium members. Our findings do not support the interaction hypothesis. We found no subgroups or variable definitions for which an interaction between stress and 5-HTTLPR genotype was statistically significant. In contrast, our findings for the main effects of life stressors (strong risk factor) and 5-HTTLPR genotype (no impact on risk) are strikingly consistent across our contributing studies, the original study reporting the interaction, and subsequent meta-analyses. Our conclusion is that if an interaction exists in which the S allele of 5-HTTLPR increases risk of depression only in stressed individuals, then it is not broadly generalizable, but must be of modest effect size and only observable in limited situations.

    The timing of puberty is a highly polygenic childhood trait that is epidemiologically associated with various adult diseases. Using 1000 Genomes Project–imputed genotype data in up to ∼370,000 women, we identify 389 independent signals (P < 5 × 10−8) for age at menarche, a milestone in female pubertal development. In Icelandic data, these signals explain ∼7.4% of the population variance in age at menarche, corresponding to ∼25% of the estimated heritability. We implicate ∼250 genes via coding variation or associated expression, demonstrating significant enrichment in neural tissues. Rare variants near the imprinted genes MKRN3 and DLK1 were identified, exhibiting large effects when paternally inherited. Mendelian randomization analyses suggest causal inverse associations, independent of body mass index (BMI), between puberty timing and risks for breast and endometrial cancers in women and prostate cancer in men. In aggregate, our findings highlight the complexity of the genetic regulation of puberty timing and support causal links with cancer susceptibility.

    Age at menarche is a marker of timing of puberty in females. It varies widely between individuals, is a heritable trait and is associated with risks for obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, breast cancer and all-cause mortality. Studies of rare human disorders of puberty and animal models point to a complex hypothalamic-pituitary-hormonal regulation,, but the mechanisms that determine pubertal timing and underlie its links to disease risk remain unclear. Here, using genome-wide and custom-genotyping arrays in up to 182,416 women of European descent from 57 studies, we found robust evidence (P<5×10−8) for 123 signals at 106 genomic loci associated with age at menarche. Many loci were associated with other pubertal traits in both sexes, and there was substantial overlap with genes implicated in body mass index and various diseases, including rare disorders of puberty. Menarche signals were enriched in imprinted regions, with three loci (DLK1/WDR25, MKRN3/MAGEL2 and KCNK9) demonstrating parent-of-origin specific associations concordant with known parental expression patterns. Pathway analyses implicated nuclear hormone receptors, particularly retinoic acid and gamma-aminobutyric acid-B2 receptor signaling, among novel mechanisms that regulate pubertal timing in humans. Our findings suggest a genetic architecture involving at least hundreds of common variants in the coordinated timing of the pubertal transition.
