PRS MDD […] = polygenic risk score for major depression, calculated based on the mentioned p-value threshold. Significant interactions (p < 0.05) are in bold

aThe average age of participants at the intercept was 13.00 years old (SD = 0.44)

bThe PRS MDD 5 × 10−8 score was based on the meta-analysis by Hyde et al. (2016) and corrected for adolescent age, sex, and population stratification. The other 12 polygenic risk scores for major depression with different p-value thresholds were based on the 23andMe summary statistics and also corrected for adolescent age, sex, and population stratification
