Abstract excerpt
For major depressive disorder (MDD), BDNF and GSK3B are logical candidate genes and an interaction between BDNF polymorphism and negative life events has been observed. Our previous study revealed that a gene-gene interaction among BDNF and GSK3B may confer the risk of MDD. In the present study, we hypothesized a gene-environment interaction between the BDNF-GSK3B combination and negative life events in the risk...
