Abstract excerpt

We conducted a cross-sectional study nested within a cohort study with 276 postpartum women to evaluate the role of a serotonin transporter gene polymorphism (5-HTTLPR) and the stressful life events (SLE) on the risk of postpartum depression (PPD) symptoms in a community sample. Participants were assessed between 45 and 90 days after delivery with the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and the Mini...
