ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Previous observational studies have suggested that there appears to be a close association between mitochondrial function and psychiatric disorders, but whether a causal role exists remains unclear.METHODS:
We extracted genetic instruments for 67 mitochondrial-related proteins and 10 psychiatric disorders from publicly available genome-wide association studies, and employed five distinct MR methods and false discovery rate correction to detect causal associations between them. Additionally, we conducted a series of sensitivity tests and additional model analysis to ensure the robustness of the results. For potential causal associations, we further performed reverse MR analyses to assess the impact of reverse causality.RESULTS:
We identified a total of 2 significant causal associations and 24 suggestive causal associations. Specifically, Phenylalanine-tRNA ligase was found to increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease, while Mitochondrial glutamate carrier 2 decreased the risk of autism spectrum disorder. Furthermore, there was no evidence of significant pleiotropy, heterogeneity, or reverse causality.LIMITATIONS:
This study was limited to individuals of European ancestry, and the conclusions drawn are merely revelatory.CONCLUSION:
This study provides novel insights into the relationship between mitochondria and psychiatric disorders, as well as the pathogenesis and treatment strategies for psychiatric disorders.
