Additionally, NEK4 was notably linked to BD type 1 (βbrain=0.123, P FDR=2.97E-05; βblood=1.018, P FDR=0.002), but showed no significant association with BD type 2.Moreover, TSMR analysis identified four proteins (BMP1, F9, ITIH3, and SIGIRR) affecting the risk of BD, and PSMB4 affecting the risk of MDD. Here, PSMB4 is linked to major depressive disorder.
