We here examine associations of a recently published polygenic risk score of antidepressant response (PRS-AR) with antidepressant treatment outcomes (remission and depression score change) in an independent clinical trial. We not only replicate the PRS-AR for escitalopram, but also find antidepressant interaction effects, suggesting drug-specificity of PRS-AR. We therefore also tested the utility of this PRS-AR to stratify between antidepressants and demonstrate a 14% increase in remission rate (from 43.6% to 49.7%), relative to the randomized remission rate.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
