Genome-wide association analyses identify 44 risk variants and refine the genetic architecture of major depression

Naomi R. Wray, +262 more
- 26 Apr 2018 - 
TL;DR: A genome-wide association meta-analysis of individuals with clinically assessed or self-reported depression identifies 44 independent and significant loci and finds important relationships of genetic risk for major depression with educational attainment, body mass, and schizophrenia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic Sensitivity to the Environment: The Case of the Serotonin Transporter Gene and Its Implications for Studying Complex Diseases and Traits

TL;DR: Research is reviewed about variation in the promoter region of the serotonin transporter gene (SLC6A4) and its contribution to stress sensitivity and the contribution of GxE research to the public understanding of genetic science.
Journal ArticleDOI

Childhood Maltreatment Predicts Unfavorable Course of Illness and Treatment Outcome in Depression: A Meta-Analysis

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of 16 epidemiological studies suggested that childhood maltreatment was associated with an elevated risk of developing recurrent and persistent depressive episodes and with lack of response or remission during treatment for depression.
Journal ArticleDOI

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

Genetic Sensitivity to the Environment: The Case of the Serotonin Transporter Gene and Its Implications for Studying Complex Diseases and Traits

TL;DR: The authors evaluate four lines of evidence about the 5-HTT stress-sensitivity hypothesis: observational studies about the serotonin transporter linked polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR), stress sensitivity, and depression in humans, research about one of the most extensive areas of inquiry.
