Genetic and environmental contributions to alcohol dependence risk in a national twin sample: consistency of findings in women and men

TL;DR: In a follow-up interview with twins from an Australian twin panel first surveyed in 1980-82 (N=5889 respondents), data were analysed using logistic regression models and no significant gender difference in the genetic variance in AD was found as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Smoking and Major Depression: A Causal Analysis

TL;DR: The results suggest that the association between smoking andMD in women is not a causal one but arises largely from familial factors, which are probably genetic, that predispose to both smoking and MD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aysu Okbay, +216 more
- 01 Jun 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted genome-wide association studies of three phenotypes: subjective well-being (n = 298,420), depressive symptoms (n= 161,460), and neuroticism(n = 170,911).
Journal ArticleDOI

GWAS of 126,559 Individuals Identifies Genetic Variants Associated with Educational Attainment

Cornelius A. Rietveld, +230 more
- 21 Jun 2013 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a genome-wide association study of educational attainment was conducted in a discovery sample of 101,069 individuals and a replication sample of 25,490 individuals, and three independent SNPs are genome wide significant (rs9320913, rs11584700, rs4851266).
Journal ArticleDOI

Major depression and generalized anxiety disorder. Same genes, (partly) different environments?

TL;DR: The findings suggest that in women, the liability to major depression and generalized anxiety disorder is influenced by the same genetic factors, so that whether a vulnerable woman develops major depression or generalized anxiety Disorder is a result of her environmental experiences.
