Table 3. MDD PRS association analyses.

Basic model has age, sex and 4 MDS components to control for population stratification and PRS as fixed effects. Family structure was controlled for using a pedigree matrix in AS-Reml. Depression was added as fixed effects in subsequent models. Best threshold PRS for each trait used, for MDD p ≤ 0.5, SLEs p ≤ 0.35 and Neuroticism p ≤ 0.23.
