TL;DR

An integrative transcriptomic and proteomic Mendelian randomization study incorporating expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) and protein quantitative trait loci (pQTL) datasets to prioritize genes associated with MDD prioritize CKAP2 as a candidate gene with convergent but non-confirmatory genetic evidence for involvement in MDD.
