A mega-analysis of genome-wide association studies for major depressive disorder

Stephan Ripke, +115 more
- 01 Apr 2013 - 
TL;DR: This article conducted a genome-wide association studies (GWAS) mega-analysis for major depressive disorder (MDD) using more than 1.2 million autosomal and X chromosome single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 18,759 independent and unrelated subjects of recent European ancestry.
Journal ArticleDOI

Moderation of Adult Depression by a Polymorphism in the FKBP5 Gene and Childhood Physical Abuse in the General Population

TL;DR: Interactions between physical abuse and rs1360780 of the FKBP5 gene, confirming its role in the individual susceptibility to depression, could be included into prediction models for depression in individuals exposed to childhood abuse.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Genome-Wide Association Study of Depressive Symptoms

Karin Hek, +87 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that only a large sample comprising more than 50,000 subjects may be sufficiently powered to detect genes for depressive symptoms, as well as a combined meta-analysis of all 22 discovery and replication studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Childhood maltreatment, the corticotropin-releasing hormone receptor gene and adult depression in the general population

TL;DR: Although this study did not replicate the specific interaction of abuse and the TAT–haplotype of the CRHR1 gene, it confirmed the relevance of an interplay between variants within the CRH‐Receptor Gene and childhood adversities in the modulation of depression in adults.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic epistasis between the brain-derived neurotrophic factor Val66Met polymorphism and the 5-HTT promoter polymorphism moderates the susceptibility to depressive disorders after childhood abuse

TL;DR: The results point to a gene-gene-environment interaction that relevantly impacts on the role of the s/s genotype of the 5-HTTLPR in childhood abuse: Depending on the BDNF background (Val/Val versus Met allele) the s-S genotype showed either protective or risk properties with regard to depressive symptoms.
