Benjamin A1 Meike Bartels A1 David Cesarini YR 2015 UL http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2015/11/24/032789.abstract AB We conducted a genome-wide association study of subjective well-being (SWB) in 298,420 individuals. We also performed auxiliary analyses of depressive symptoms (“DS”; N = 161,460) and neuroticism (N = 170,910), both of which have a substantial genetic correlation with SWB . We identify three SNPs associated with SWB at genome-wide significance. Two of them are significantly associated with DS in an independent sample. In our auxiliary analyses, we identify 13 additional genome-wide-significant associations: two with DS and eleven with neuroticism, including two inversion polymorphisms. Across our phenotypes, loci regulating expression in central nervous system and adrenal/pancreas tissues are enriched. The discovery of genetic loci associated with the three phenotypes we study has proven elusive; our findings illustrate the payoffs from studying them jointly.One Sentence Summary: Using both genome-wide association studies and proxy-phenotype studies, we identify genetic variants associated with subjective well-being, depressive symptoms, and neuroticism.
