Causal relationships between serum albumin, neuroticism and suicidal ideation in depressed patients: a Mendelian randomization study
Heliyon(2024)
摘要
Although serum albumin and neuroticism have revealed a strong association with suicidal ideation in individuals with depression, the causal relationship between them is uncertain. This study analyzed the causal association of serum albumin, neuroticism and suicidal ideation using large-scale GWAS data and Univariable Mendelian Randomization (UVMR) methods. The Multivariable MR (MVMR) analysis was used to explore the causal pathways. UVMR analysis revealed that genetically determined serum albumin is causally associated with neuroticism (β=-0.006 S.D.; 95% CI: -0.009, -0.002; p=0.003) and suicidal ideation (β=0.009 S.D.; 95% CI: 0.001, 0.016; p=0.037); and that neuroticism mediates 100% of the causal association between serum albumin and suicidal ideation in individuals with depression. These findings suggest genetic evidence for the causal effect of serum albumin on suicidal ideation in depressed patients and the significant mediation effect of neuroticism on this causal association. This study proves the protective role of serum albumin for neuroticism and the riskiness of personality traits for suicidal ideation in individuals with depression.
