Abstract

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a common comorbidity in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), affecting up to 57% of patients with COPD. Although the comorbidity of COPD and MDD is well established, the causal relationship between these two diseases is unclear. A large-scale electronic health record clinical biobank and genome-wide association study summary statistics for MDD and lung function traits were used to investigate potential shared underlying genetic susceptibility between COPD and MDD. Linkage disequilibrium score regression was used to estimate genetic correlation between phenotypes. Polygenic risk scores (PRS) for MDD and lung function traits were developed and used to perform a phenome-wide association study (PheWAS). Multi-trait-based conditional and joint analysis identified single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) influencing both lung function and MDD. We found genetic correlations between MDD and all lung function traits were small and not statistically significant. A PRS–MDD was significantly associated with an increased risk of COPD in a PheWAS [odds ratio (OR) = 1.12, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.09–1.16] when adjusting for age, sex and genetic ancestry, but this relationship became attenuated when controlling for smoking history (OR = 1.08, 95% CI: 1.04–1.13). No significant associations were found between the lung function PRS and MDD. Multi-trait-based conditional and joint analysis identified three SNPs that may contribute to both traits, two of which were previously associated with mood disorders and COPD. Our findings suggest that the observed relationship between COPD and MDD may not be driven by a strong shared genetic architecture.

Introduction

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally, affecting 328 million people and causing 3 million deaths per year (1). Comorbidities are common among COPD patients (2,3). Individuals with comorbid conditions report decreased quality of life (4–7), and the presence of multiple comorbidities can increase mortality rates by as much as 400% (8). Therefore, understanding the relationship between COPD and its comorbidities is a research priority (9).

Psychiatric comorbidities are commonly reported in COPD patients. Individuals with COPD have an increased prevalence of major depression, with estimates ranging from 8 to 80% (10–15). The prevalence of depression is higher in individuals with more severe disease (10,11,14). Among individuals with COPD, depression is associated with greater exacerbation, higher rates of hospital re-admission, decreased medication adherence, poorer quality of life and increased mortality (10–12,16–21).

The biologic mechanism underlying the relationship between COPD and depression is unknown. Both disorders are highly heritable, with an estimated genetic heritability of 25–37% for COPD (22) and 28–51% for major depressive disorder (MDD) (23–25). Heritability of lung function traits such as forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC), which are the basis for COPD diagnosis, are also high, with estimated heritability ranging from 18 to 50% (26–28). Systemic inflammation, hypoxemia and oxidative stress, and shared environmental risk factors, such as smoking, have been proposed as possible mechanisms linking these two conditions (12,29–31). Smoking is a major risk factor for COPD, and it may also be an independent risk factor for depression, though the direction of this relationship is still debated (31–33). Shared genetic risk factors have been investigated in a small number of studies (34–37). A candidate gene study for depression identified a small number of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with increased COPD risk (34). A large-scale phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) conducted in the UK Biobank detected associations between lung function genomic loci and depressive symptoms (35). These studies suggest that the relationship between COPD and MDD may be due to pleiotropy, where a single SNP affects two or more distinct traits (38). However, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of depressive symptoms in smokers with COPD did not identify any significant loci (36). A polygenic risk score (PRS) built from a genome-wide gene-by-environment interaction study of depressive symptoms identified a significant association with COPD, but the underlying model assumed an interaction between SNPs and stressful life events and therefore did not examine purely genetic effects (37). Further complicating the relationship between COPD and MDD is the presence of sex differences in both disorders. MDD is more prevalent in women, and women typically experience more severe depressive symptoms than men (39). Genetic studies of MDD have identified evidence of sex-specific risk variants and transcriptional signatures (40,41). Women develop COPD at lower smoke exposure than men and may experience more severe disease and rapid respiratory decline compared with men with similar smoking exposure (42–44). We investigated the genetic relationship between COPD and MDD, using existing GWAS summary statistics to test for genetic correlation and pleiotropy between the traits. We leveraged electronic health records (EHR) linked to genotyping data to explore shared genetic associations between COPD and MDD using a PheWAS, an approach often used to examine relationships between comorbid conditions (45–47). We also performed sex-stratified analyses to investigate possible sex differences in the relationship between MDD and COPD. An overall schematic of our study design and methods is provided in Supplementary Material, Figure S1.

Results

Study population

Our BioVU study population consisted of 72 447 European ancestry individuals with 9 386 383 SNPs. Approximately 5% of the BioVU population had a COPD phecode. COPD individuals were older (median age 68 years) and more male (53.5%) than the overall study population (median age 56 years and 44.0% male). COPD patients had a higher prevalence of ever smoking (87.6%) than the overall BioVU population (49.8%). The prevalence of major depression (one or more depression phecodes) was higher in COPD patients (8.8%) than among patients without a diagnosis of COPD (3.5%) (Table 1).

Genetic correlation between MDD and lung function

We found low genetic correlations (Rg) between MDD and lung function traits using linkage disequilibrium score regression (LDSC). None of the genetic correlations between MDD and lung function were statistically significant. The strongest correlation between MDD and lung function was with peak expiratory flow (PEF) (Rg = −0.035, P = 0.07). In contrast, we observed strong and statistically significant correlation between lung function traits (Table 2). Local genetic correlation showed statistically significant peaks in Rg on chromosome 6 for both FEV1/FVC (Bonferroni-corrected P-value = 8.62 × 10−3) and FEV1 and MDD (Bonferroni-corrected P-value = 4.38 × 10−6). However, the maximum correlation values were still small (maximum Rg for FEV1/FVC and MDD: 3.86 × 10−4, maximum Rg for FEV1 and MDD: 3.36 × 10−4).

PheWAS analyses with lung function and MDD–PRS

We built PRS for lung function (818 738 SNPs) and MDD (803 205 SNPs) from publicly available GWAS summary statistics for lung function measures and MDD. To confirm expected associations with lung function, we used linear regression to test for the association between the lung function PRS and their corresponding pre-bronchodilator lung function traits in a subset of BioVU patients with available lung function data. The PRS were robustly associated with the corresponding lung function traits (data not shown). We performed a PheWAS using logistic regression models to examine associations between PRSs and 1857 phecodes in the entire study population. Cases and controls were defined independently for each phecode, and phecodes with <20 cases were excluded (N = 438 phecodes). The lung function PRS were consistently associated with decreased COPD in the PheWAS (Table 3). Similar associations were observed in sex-stratified analyses, though the significance of the association varied between lung function phenotypes (Supplementary Material, Figs S2–S5). The MDD–PRS was significantly associated with increased risk of mood disorders [odds ratio (OR) = 1.28, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.25–1.32; P = 6.42 × 10−76] and MDD (OR = 1.27, 95% CI: 1.22–1.32; P = 1.41 × 10−31) when adjusting for age, sex and the first three principal components (PCs) (Table 3). In sex-stratified analyses, the MDD–PRS was also significantly associated with mood disorders and MDD (Supplementary Material, Fig. S6, Supplementary Material, Table S1).

In addition to the expected phenotype associations, we observed a significant association between the MDD–PRS and COPD when adjusting for age, sex and the first three PCs (OR = 1.13; 95% CI: 1.09–1.17; P-value =3.72 × 10−12) (Table 3, Fig. 1A). Adjusting for smoking attenuated the association and was no longer statistically significant (OR = 1.09; 95% CI: 1.04–1.13; P = 8.07 × 10−5) (Table 3, Fig. 1B). Similar patterns were observed for both men and women in the sex-stratified analyses of PRS–MDD (Supplementary Material, Table S1, Supplementary Material, Fig. S6). None of the lung function PRS were associated with MDD in the smoking-adjusted or smoking-unadjusted analyses (Table 3, Fig. 2). Similarly, no significant associations between any of the lung function PRS and MDD were observed in the sex-stratified analyses (Supplementary Material, Table S1, Supplementary Material, Figs S2–S5).

Multi-trait conditional analysis to detect potential pleiotropy

We used multi-trait-based conditional and joint analysis (mtCOJO) to adjust MDD for the genetic effects of FEV1/FVC. The majority of SNPs showed little to no change in the effect estimate. The median percent change in the beta before and after conditioning was 0%, with an inter-quartile range of −6–5%. However, heterogeneity in dependent instrument outlier approach (HEIDI-outlier) identified three SNPs (rs12040241, rs7617480, rs12967855) with evidence of pleiotropy between MDD and FEV1/FVC (Supplementary Material, Table S2).

Discussion

We evaluated the potential for shared genetic architecture between lung function and MDD. We did not observe a significant global genetic correlation between lung function traits and MDD, consistent with prior work (48). In contrast, genetic correlations between lung function traits ranged from −0.08 to 0.87, similar to previous studies (35). Local genetic correlation did identify a small but statistically significant increase in genetic correlation on chromosome 6 in the human leukocyte antigen region. This finding is consistent with the known role of inflammation and the immune system in both COPD (49,50) and MDD (51,52). We found that the PRS–MDD was significantly associated with COPD in our PheWAS, but this association was no longer statistically significant when controlling for smoking. Conversely, none of the lung function PRS showed a significant association with MDD in PheWAS analyses, suggesting little shared genetic architecture between lung function and MDD. However, using multi-trait conditional analysis, we identified three potentially pleiotropic SNPs. Interestingly, two of these SNPs were associated with both mood and smoking traits in a prior GWAS (53–58). An intronic variant in KLHDC8B, rs7617480, was previously identified as genome-wide significant in GWAS of smoking cessation (53) and subjective well-being (54). The second SNP, rs12967855, an intronic variant in CELF4, was previously found to have genome-wide significant associations with lifetime smoking index (55) and unipolar depression (56–58).

Although we identified three potentially pleiotropic variants, our findings do not provide strong evidence for a shared genetic architecture between MDD and COPD. Smoking behaviors may contribute to the relationship between MDD and COPD (32,33,59). Cigarette smoking and nicotine dependence have been identified as potential confounding factors of the relationship between COPD and mood disorders (59), and smoking may modify associations between COPD and depression (31). Among individuals with COPD, current smokers report higher rates of depression symptoms and have increased mortality risks compared with former smokers and individuals without depression (60,61). Previous studies have also shown that smokers with mental illness have higher mortality rates, particularly from respiratory conditions (60,62–64). Further study is needed to understand the underlying mechanisms linking smoking, COPD and MDD (59–61).

This study has several strengths and considerations. We used available summary statistics from large, well-powered GWAS to conduct our analyses (35,65,66). We also used the rich BioVU resource with extensive clinical data allowing us to examine multiple phenotypes. Our study is limited by the inclusion of only European ancestry participants. PRS performance decreases in cross-ancestry analysis (67,68), and the limited number of lung function GWAS that have been conducted in African Americans have had small sample sizes with few genome-wide significant findings (69,70). Further research is needed to understand the genetic relationship between COPD and MDD in non-European descent populations. Another limitation of our study is the lack of a replication population to validate our findings. However, our findings are consistent with prior research (35,48). Finally, our study relied on EHR data, which can present challenges due to data missingness and misclassification (71–75). We chose to use phecodes to define phenotypes in our study, as previous research has demonstrated that phecodes better capture clinical disease than International Classification of Disease (ICD) codes alone (76). For the majority of phenotypes, we expect the effects of misclassification to be minimal or biased toward the null (77,78). We also encountered challenges due to missingness, particularly for smoking data (Table 1), which is prone to high rates of missingness and inaccuracies in EHR (79–82). Individuals who were missing smoking data were younger and had a lower prevalence of COPD than those with available smoking information (Supplementary Material, Table S3), thus relying on complete case analysis may limit the generalizability of our findings.

In conclusion, we found that the elevated prevalence of MDD in COPD cannot be solely explained by shared genetic risk factors. Our findings suggest a role for shared environmental or behavioral risk factors, such as smoking. We identified three potentially pleiotropic SNPs that can be prioritized in future studies of MDD and COPD. These findings require further investigation into the biological underpinnings between MDD and COPD to elucidate the causal mechanism underlying their relationship.

Materials and Methods

Study population

Our study population included participants in the Vanderbilt University Medical Center BioVU clinical repository (2007–2019). BioVU is a DNA biobank linked to de-identified EHR clinical data, dating back to the 1980s (83). We limited our study population to BioVU individuals of European ancestry previously genotyped on the Illumina Infinium Multi-Ethnic Genotyping Array. Demographic data (sex, age at last record), smoking, ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes, and pulmonary function data (2011–2019) were extracted from structured fields in the EHR using natural language processing.

We selected individuals of European ancestry using PC analysis implemented in EIGENSTRAT (84,85). We performed standard quality control and imputed genotypes to the Haplotype Reference Consortium with the Michigan Imputation Server (86). Genotypes were hard-called using default settings (P > 0.1) in PLINK 1.9 (87,88).

GWAS summary statistics

To investigate potential pleiotropy between lung function and MDD, we used publicly available summary statistics from previously performed GWAS in individuals of European ancestry. Summary statistics were obtained from a large-scale GWAS of lung function (FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC and PEF) (35) and from a meta-analysis of two genome-wide studies of MDD (65,66).

Genetic correlation

We calculated the overall Rg between traits using LDSC software and a reference linkage disequilibrium (LD) score panel derived from European 1000 Genomes populations (89,90). To calculate local genetic correlation, we used Heritability Estimation from Summary Statistics (ρ-HESS) with a European LD reference panel provided by the software authors (91).

Polygenic risk scores

To build PRS, we used polygenic risk score-continuous shrinkage to estimate posterior effect sizes of SNPs with continuous shrinkage priors in each GWAS (92). We then applied the score function in PLINK 1.9 (87,88) to calculate a PRS for each individual in BioVU. PRS were normalized by subtracting the mean and dividing by the standard deviation.

PheWAS

We explored the relationship between each PRS and EHR phenotypes in a PheWAS (93). We performed logistic regression analysis to examine associations between PRS and 1857 phecodes. Phecodes are defined by aggregating similar ICD-9 and ICD-10 billing codes (76,94) and have been used extensively in prior studies (95–108). We mapped extracted ICD-9 and ICD-10 billing codes from BioVU to phecodes using the PheWAS R package (109). Phecodes with fewer than 20 cases were excluded from analyses. Models were adjusted for age at last visit, sex, smoking (ever/never) and three PCs estimated using EIGENSTRAT (84,85) to adjust for potential confounding by genetic ancestry. We also performed sex-stratified PheWAS using the same parameters and covariates as in the main analysis, with the exception of sex as a covariate. A type 1 error rate of alpha = 0.05/1857 phecodes = 2.69 × 10−5 was set for inference of statistical significance.

Multi-trait conditional analysis

We performed mtCOJO to investigate cross-phenotype effects (110). We evaluated the change in effect size for SNPs in the FEV1/FVC GWAS before and after conditioning on MDD. We also implemented HEIDI-outlier, incorporated into mtCOJO methods, to detect potentially pleiotropic SNPs (110). We used the National Human Genome Research Institute-European Bioinformatics Institute (NHGRI-EBI) GWAS Catalog (111) and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Genome-Wide Repository of Associations Between SNPs and Phenotypes (112) to look up prior associations for identified SNPs.
