Complement Factor H Polymorphism in Age-Related Macular Degeneration

TL;DR: A genome-wide screen for polymorphisms associated with age-related macular degeneration revealed a polymorphism in linkage disequilibrium with the risk allele representing a tyrosine-histidine change at amino acid 402 in the complement factor H gene.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interaction Between the Serotonin Transporter Gene (5-HTTLPR), Stressful Life Events, and Risk of Depression: A Meta-analysis

TL;DR: This meta-analysis yielded no evidence that the serotonin transporter genotype alone or in interaction with stressful life events is associated with an elevated risk of depression in men alone, women alone, or in both sexes combined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Complement factor H polymorphism in age-related macular degeneration

TL;DR: A genome-wide screen for polymorphisms associated with age-related macular degeneration revealed a polymorphism in linkage disequilibrium with the risk allele representing a tyrosine-histidine change at amino acid 402 in the complement factor H gene.

Interaction Between the Serotonin Transporter Gene (5-HTTLPR), Stressful Life Events, and Risk of Depression

TL;DR: Merikangas et al. as discussed by the authors showed that most common genetic risks, at least when studied individually, are modest in magnitude, with relative risks in the range of 1.3 or less.
