摘要

Delay discounting (DD), a person’s preference for smaller immediate rewards over larger delayed rewards, is a heritable trait that is associated with psychiatric and physical outcomes, yet the biological mechanisms underlying these links are not known. We performed a GWAS of DD using 134,935 23andMe research participants and identified 11 genome-wide significant loci. We did not replicate our previously reported association with rs6528024 (chrXq13.3, GPM6B; P = 5.30 × 10−02). The SNP-heritability of DD was 9.85 ± 0.57%. We observed genetic correlations between DD and 73 behavioral, physical, and neuroimaging traits, many of which persisted even after accounting for educational attainment, intelligence, and executive function. Network analysis revealed that the associations between DD and certain traits were explained by both overlapping and trait-specific biological processes. In a hospital-based cohort (N = 66,917), DD polygenic scores were associated with 212 medical conditions. These results demonstrate that DD has a pleiotropic and polygenic common variant architecture, and is genetically associated with numerous outcomes, making it a promising endophenotype for psychiatric and physical health.
