Key PointsQuestion  What is the population-based prevalence and psychiatric risk associated with recurrent copy number variants (rCNVs) and how do they differ across outcomes and rCNVs? Findings  In a genetic association study of the Danish population born in 1981-2008 and followed up until 2015, most rCNV risk profiles were similar across autism, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and schizophrenia.

AbstractMajor depressive disorder (MDD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are often comorbid, resulting in excess morbidity and mortality. Here we show that CVDs share most of their genetic risk factors with MDD. Multivariate genome-wide association analysis of shared genetic liability between MDD and atherosclerotic CVD revealed seven loci and distinct patterns of tissue and brain cell-type enrichments, suggesting the involvement of the thalamus.

AbstractMental disorders are leading causes of disability and premature death worldwide, partly due to high comorbidity with cardiometabolic disorders. Reasons for this comorbidity are still poorly understood. We leverage nation-wide health records and near-complete genealogies of Denmark and Sweden (n = 17 million) to reveal the genetic and environmental contributions underlying the observed comorbidity between six mental disorders and 15 cardiometabolic disorders.
