Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association (GWA) studies have identified numerous genetic variants for major depressive disorder (MDD) although most of the genetic variants are intergenic. It has been found that approximately 54% of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are located in the intergenic regions. We hypothesized that intergenic variants might be involved in the pathogenesis of MDD through regulating the expression of lncRNAs...
