Inbreeding increases the probability of homozygosity of deleterious alleles. Inbreeding and Runs of homozygosity (ROH) are associated with increased risk for disease phentoypes, including schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders. Effects of inbreeding, ROH, homozygous deletions, and other copy number variations (CNVs) on risk for depression and suicide attempt were quantified in an Arab Bedouin Kindred. We performed genetic analyses of 439 subjects from an Arab kindred with high rates of depression and suicidal behavior. We obtained complete ascertainment of suicide attempters and first-degree relatives of subjects who have attempted or died by suicide. We found extensive regions of ROH. On average, 5% of the genome is covered by ROH for these subjects, twofold higher than ROH rates for subjects from populations of European ancestry. Inbreeding and total length of ROH were not associated with risk for depression or attempt. For CNVs, an increased number of duplications >500 kb was associated with increased risk for attempt (OR=2.9, p=0.01; 95% CI 1.3, 6.6). While not significant after correction for multiple testing, risk for suicide attempt appears to increase with copy number for a CNV on chromosome 9p24.1. This possibility is intriguing because the CNV covers GLDC, which encodes glycine dehydrogenase that binds to glycine, a co-agonist at N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptors and is involved in glutamatergic neurotransmission. Our findings add to the growing evidence of genetic risk factors that act pleiotropically to increase risk for several neuropsychiatric disorders, including depression and suicide attempt, regardless of ancestry.
