Genetically determined risk of depression and functional outcome after ischemic stroke: Mendelian randomization study

I. Supplementary Methods
SNP-Depression Association EstimatesData from a GWAS meta-analysis investigating variants associated with depression were used to identify instruments for MR analysis1. This study compiled data on 246,363 patients with depression and 561,190 control subjects in discovery analysis, with replication performed in 474,574 depression cases and 1,032,579 controls1. Participants were of European ancestry1, and the considered cohorts are detailed in Supplementary Table I. Instruments for risk of depression were 56 genome-wide significant (p<5x10-8) single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) identified in the discovery meta-analysis that also replicated at genome-wide significance (Supplementary Table II)1. Estimates were taken from the replication cohort to avoid Winner’s curse bias. F statistics were calculated as a measure of the strength of the instruments using the Chi-squared approximation2, 3.
SNP-Ischemic Stroke Association EstimatesThe association of the SNPs with ischemic stroke risk were obtained from the MEGASTROKE consortium’s multi-ethnic GWAS of 60,341 patients with ischemic stroke and 454,450 control subjects4. Of these, 34,217 cases and 400,201 controls were of European ancestry4.
SNP-Post-Ischemic Stroke Outcome Association EstimatesThe associations of the instrument SNPs with functional outcome after ischemic stroke were obtained from a GWAS meta-analysis performed by the GISCOME collaboration. This study considered several analytical models5, however we restricted our MR estimates from the GISCOME model with the largest sample size to maximize statistical power. In addition, we did not adopt the GWAS models that used an ordinal scale, as the implications of this within an MR framework are not known. We used functional outcome measured using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) as close as possible to 90 days post-stroke5. An mRS score of ≤2 denoted good functional outcome (3,741 patients), and a score of ≥3 (2,280 patients) indicated poor functional outcome post-stroke5. Approximately 20% of the population had recurrent stroke5. The analysis was adjusted for age, sex, ancestry, and baseline stroke severity (as assessed by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale at 0-10 days after stroke onset)5. The adjustment for baseline stroke severity was required to allow for assessment of functional outcome with respect to the degree of baseline impairment. Participants were of European ancestry and cohort details are provided in Supplementary Table III.
Mendelian randomization sensitivity analysesHeterogeneity between ratio method MR estimates produced for individual SNPs was assessed using the Cochran’s Q test as a proxy for the presence of pleiotropy6, where the genetic instruments affect the outcome independently of predisposition to depression to bias the MR analysis6-8. To further investigate possible bias related to any pleiotropic effects, we performed the weighted median and MR-PRESSO statistical sensitivity analyses7, 8. Weighted median MR orders the MR estimates for each SNP by their magnitude weighted for their precision, and remains valid when at least half the information for the analysis comes from valid instruments7. The 95% confidence interval (CI) for this was calculated using the parametric bootstrap method7. The MR pleiotropy residual sum and outlier (MR-PRESSO) test performs a regression of the SNP-outcome association estimates against the SNP-
exposure association estimates8. By comparing the residuals from this against those that would be expected by chance, outlier SNPs can be identified8.

Association was steeper and statistically significant in individuals aged <50 years, smokers, drinkers, those with higher education degree,

between the number of depression symptoms and increased stroke risk

Depression was associated with significantly greater odds of stroke after
adjustment for potential confounding factors (OR=1.22, 95% CI: 1.08-1.38). Interaction tests showed that the effect of depression on stroke was higher in
men compared with women (the difference in OR between men and
women was 1.30, 95% CI: 1.01-1.68), i.e. the association between depression
and stroke was modified by gender.

Depression was associated with a >2-fold increased odds of stroke
(OR=2.41; 95% CI: 1.78-3.27), which attenuated after adjusting for age,
socioeconomic status, lifestyle, and physiological factors (OR=1.94; 95%

addressing methodological issues, including definition of depression,

receiving antidepressants (HR=4.17; 95% CI: 1.84-9.46) and in depressed

Patients with MDD had significantly higher rates of stroke (4.3% vs. 2.8%,

that MDD was associated with significantly greater odds of stroke (OR=1.546; 95% CI: 1.080-2.211;

Having a history of depression was associated with a multivariate-adjusted

current depression had an increased risk of stroke (HR=1.41; 95% CI: 1.18-

significantly elevated risk (HR=1.23; 95% CI: 0.97-1.56) compared with
