Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: To date almost 200 genes were found to be associated with major depressive disorder (MDD) or suicide attempts (SA), but very few genes were reported for their molecular mechanisms. This study aimed to find out whether there were common or rare variants in three candidate genes altering the risk for MDD and SA in Chinese. METHODS: Three candidate genes (HOMER1, SLC6A4 and TEF) were chosen for...
