Acne and risk of mental disorders: A two-sample Mendelian randomization study based on large genome-wide association data

| Shrnutí: | Despite a growing body of evidence that acne impacts mental disorders, the actual causality has not been established for the possible presence of recall bias and confounders in observational studies.
We performed a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to evaluate the effect of acne on the risk of six common mental disorders, i.e., depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). We acquired genetic instruments for assessing acne from the largest genome-wide association study (GWAS) of acne (
= 615,396) and collected summary statistics from the largest available GWAS for depression (
= 500,199), anxiety (
= 17,310), schizophrenia (
= 130,644), OCD (
= 9,725), bipolar disorder (
= 413,466), and PTSD (
= 174,659). Next, we performed the two-sample MR analysis using four methods: inverse-variance weighted method, MR-Egger, weighted median, and MR pleiotropy residual sum and outliers. Sensitivity analysis was also performed for heterogeneity and pleiotropy tests.
There was no evidence of a causal impact of acne on the risk of depression [odds ratio (OR): 1.002,
= 0.874], anxiety (OR: 0.961,
= 0.49), OCD (OR: 0.979,
= 0.741), bipolar disorder (OR: 0.972,
= 0.261), and PTSD (OR: 1.054,
= 0.069). Moreover, a mild protective effect of acne against schizophrenia was observed (OR: 0.944;
= 0.033).
The increased prevalence of mental disorders observed in patients with acne in clinical practice was caused by modifiable factors, and was not a direct outcome of acne. Therefore, strategies targeting the elimination of potential factors and minimization of the occurrence of adverse mental events in acne should be implemented. |
