Fig. 3

Scatter plots and leave-one-out plots for Mendelian randomization analysis between breakfast skipping and major depressive disorder. Bi-directional Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis using IVW, weighted median, weighted mode, and MR–Egger to evaluate the causal relationship between breakfast skipping and MDD. A showed the SNPs’ effect on breakfast skipping and major depressive disorder (MDD). B showed the SNPs’ effect on MDD and breakfast skipping. Leave-one-out analysis plots for breakfast skipping on MDD (C) and MDD on breakfast skipping (D). SNP, single nucleotide polymorphism; IVW, inverse-variance weighted; MR, Mendelian randomization
