Genetic risk factors for major depression in men and women: similar or different heritabilities and same or partly distinct genes?

Psychological medicine - 1 May 2001

Kendler K S, Gardner C O, Neale M C, Prescott C A

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Although women are at consistently greater risk for major depression (MD) than men, it is unclear whether sex modifies the aetiological impact of genetic factors on MD. Is the heritability of MD different in men and women? Do the same genetic risk factors predispose to MD in the two sexes? METHODS: We obtained a lifetime history of MD by personal interview on two occasions from 6672 individual twins...
