Genetic relationship between five psychiatric disorders estimated from genome-wide SNPs

S. Hong Lee, +405 more
- 01 Sep 2013 - 
TL;DR: Empirical evidence of shared genetic etiology for psychiatric disorders can inform nosology and encourages the investigation of common pathophysiologies for related disorders.
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

Effect of bright light and melatonin on cognitive and noncognitive function in elderly residents of group care facilities: a randomized controlled trial.

TL;DR: Light has a modest benefit in improving some cognitive and noncognitive symptoms of dementia and is recommended only in combination with light to counteract the adverse effect of melatonin on mood.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased numbers of corticotropin-releasing hormone expressing neurons in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus of depressed patients.

TL;DR: The observations strongly support the hypothesis that CRH neurons in the PVN are hyperactivated in major depressed patients, and might be causally related to at least part of the symptomatology of depression.
