Major depressive disorder (MDD) impacts females and males differently and post-mortem gene expression profiling reveals distinct transcriptomic signatures of the disorder in each sex. Using genes that are transcriptionally altered in MDD in both sexes, we recently developed a novel transcriptome-based polygenic risk score (tPRS), which had sex-specific associations with brain structure and depressive symptoms in both adolescents and adults. Identifying the neurodevelopmental signatures of geneti...
