A major Australian study finds women have nearly twice as many depression-linked genetic markers as men, pointing to stronger genetic risk in women.
A large Australian study analyzing DNA from nearly 200,000 people with depression found women have nearly twice as many genetic markers linked to the disorder compared to men, suggesting a stronger genetic risk for women.
Published in Nature Communications, the research identified around 13,000 genetic variants associated with depression in women versus 7,000 in men, with some symptoms like weight gain and fatigue more common in women.
The findings highlight biological sex differences in depression’s genetic roots and support the need for gender-specific mental health research and treatments.
