Low-frequency and rare variants may contribute to elucidate the genetics of major depressive disorder.

Abstract excerpt

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a common but serious psychiatric disorder with significant levels of morbidity and mortality. Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on common variants increase our understanding of MDD; however, the underlying genetic basis remains largely unknown. Many studies have been proposed to explore the genetics of complex diseases from a viewpoint of the "missing heritability"...
