Identification of IL6 as a susceptibility gene for major depressive disorder.

Scientific reports - 9 Aug 2016

Zhang Chen, Wu Zhiguo, Zhao Guoqing, Wang Fan, Fang Yiru

Abstract excerpt

Our previous work implied that interleukin 6 (IL6) may be a biological marker for major depressive disorder (MDD). In this study, we performed a comprehensive genetic study to determine the association between the gene encoding IL6 (IL6) and MDD in Han Chinese. There were 50 drug-naïve MDD patients and 50 healthy controls undergoing an mRNA expression study. A sample of 772 patients with MDD and 759 healthy...
