Mental health disorders including depression, schizophrenia, and anorexia show links to biological markers detected in routine blood tests, according to our new study of genetic, biochemical and psychiatric data from almost a million people.
Many studies have tried to address this by focusing on substances called biomarkers that can be readily measured in blood.
One solution is to look at genetic influences on both mental illness and substances measured in blood. Genetics is useful as we now have data from millions of individuals who have volunteered in research studies.". In complex traits, many genes are involved and environmental factors also contribute. For example, a variant in a particular gene may increase the risk of developing schizophrenia and also be linked to a decrease in the levels of a vitamin circulating in the blood.
We used data from very large studies conducted by other people, with data from almost a million volunteers included in total.between blood biomarkers and mental illness, which was more widespread than has previously been shown.
