Time, memory and the heritability of major depression.

Psychological medicine - 1 Jul 2001

Kendler K S, Aggen S H

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Although family, twin and adoption studies have suggested that lifetime major depression (MD) is a heritable condition, nearly all these studies have relied for the diagnosis on long-term human memory, which is fallible and potentially biased. Could the estimates of heritability of MD be biased by the well-demonstrated genetic influences on memory? METHODS: Both members of 858 female-female twin pairs...
