Delineation of two genetic pathways to major depression.

Biological psychiatry - 1 May 2009

Kendler Kenneth S, Fiske Amy, Gardner Charles O, Gatz Margaret

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: We sought to identify two sets of familial/genetic risk factors for major depression (MD): 1) high familial loading for MD, which we predicted would be most prominent in cases of MD with an early age at onset (AAO), and 2) high familial loading for vascular disease (VD), which should be strongest in MD cases with a late AAO. METHODS: We examined 4785 twin pairs from the Swedish Twin Registry, assessed...
