Genetik for selvmordsforsøg hos personer med og uden psykiske sygdomme

Familiestudier viser en ophobning af selvmordshandlinger i bestemte familie. Formålet med dette studie var at udføre en GWAS-analyser og beregne SNP-arvelighed for selvmordsforsøg i et landsdækkende udsnit af personer med og uden psykiatrisk sygdom. Dette var det største studiepopulation til dato og signifikante SNP-associationer til selvmordsforsøg blev fundet. Resultaterne viste desuden at genetisk transmission for selvmord ikke udelukkende kan forklares ved psykisk sygdom.
Studiet er publiceret i Molecular Psychiatry.
Studiet blev støttet at Lundbeck iPSYCH-bevillingen
