Genetic correlations were estimated via linkage disequilibrium score regression (LDSC). Bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) and meta-analysis were performed using large-scale GWAS data to infer causality. Additional analyses, including Functional Mapping and Annotation (FUMA), protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis, and spatiotemporal gene expression profiling during human brain development, were performed to investigate potential biological mechanisms of BD and IDPs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In our ExWAS analyses, we identified 10 significant exposome-level IDPs, and LDSC further revealed 67 IDPs with significant genetic correlations with BD. The MR analyses provided robust causal evidence for 12 IDPs, 6 of which were further validated by meta-analysis. Integrative analyses identified two associations supported by both epidemiological and genetic evidence (IDP.1510: fractional anisotropy in the forceps major, and IDP.0387: volume of the right lateral orbital frontal cortex). Additionally, we identified pleiotropic genes between IDPs and BD. Gene enrichment analyses implicated shared biological pathways, such as nucleosome assembly and neutrophil extracellular trap formation . PPI network analysis suggested that histone family members occupied central hubs in the interaction network. Spatiotemporal expression profiling identified region-specific developmental trajectories of pleiotropic genes in brain regions, including the cerebellum and thalamus, with the late fetal to early postnatal period potentially representing a sensitive developmental period for neurodevelopmental effects of BD susceptibility genes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study establishes an atlas of brain IDPs associated with BD, by integrating epidemiological and genetic evidence.
