Given the strong link between comorbid depression and MS disease activity and disability, we aimed to determine whether the depression genetic burden, as modelled using its polygenic score, is associated with MS disease activity and disability worsening.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this cohort study, we used samples from neurologist\u2010defined adult people with MS (PwMS) followed in clinical care or during a clinical trial from existing cohorts: Canada, the United States (US), and Sweden with extensive longitudinal phenotypes. We computed the depression polygenic score (PGS) and tested its association with annualized relapse rate and worsening disability. In the US cohort, we additionally explored the time to relapse, number of enhancing lesions, and confirmed Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) worsening during the study period.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We included 3,420 relapsing\u2010onset PwMS of European genetic ancestry with a median follow\u2010up of 3 to 5\u2009years. Meta\u2010analyses revealed for each 1\u2010standard deviation increase in the depression PGS, the relapse rate increased (incidence rate ratio: 1.23, 95% confidence interval [CI] =\u20091.01\u20131.50). In the US cohort, higher depression PGS was associated with protocol\u2010defined relapses (hazard ratio [HR] =\u20091.58, 95% CI\u2009=\u20091.03\u20132.43), and time to confirmed EDSS worsening (HR\u2009=\u20091.51, 95% CI\u2009=\u20091.03\u20132.22) with this effect largely direct.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Interpretation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Meta\u2010analyses showed a higher depression genetic burden was associated with increased MS disease activity.
