abstract = {Psychiatric disorders show heterogeneous symptoms and
trajectories, with current nosology not accurately
reflecting their molecular etiology and the variability and
symptomatic overlap within and between diagnostic classes.
This heterogeneity impedes timely and targeted treatment.
Our study aimed to identify psychiatric patient clusters
that share clinical and genetic features and may profit from
similar therapies. We used high-dimensional data clustering
on deep clinical data to identify transdiagnostic groups in
a discovery sample (N = 1250) of healthy controls and
patients diagnosed with depression, bipolar disorder,
schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and other
psychiatric disorders. We observed five diagnostically mixed
clusters and ordered them based on severity. The least
impaired cluster 0, containing most healthy controls, showed
general well-being. Clusters 1–3 differed predominantly
regarding levels of maltreatment, depression, daily
functioning, and parental bonding. Cluster 4 contained most
patients diagnosed with psychotic disorders and exhibited
the highest severity in many dimensions, including
medication load. Depressed patients were present in all
clusters, indicating that we captured different disease
stages or subtypes. We replicated all but the smallest
cluster 1 in an independent sample (N = 622). Next, we
analyzed genetic differences between clusters using
polygenic scores (PGS) and the psychiatric family history.
These genetic variables differed mainly between clusters 0
and 4 (prediction area under the receiver operating
characteristic curve $(AUC) = 81\%;$ significant PGS:
cross-disorder psychiatric risk, schizophrenia, and
educational attainment). Our results confirm that
psychiatric disorders consist of heterogeneous subtypes
sharing molecular factors and symptoms. The identification
of transdiagnostic clusters advances our understanding of
the heterogeneity of psychiatric disorders and may support
the development of personalized treatments.},
