Prospective study of polygenic risk, protective factors, and incident depression following combat deployment in US Army soldiers

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Whereas genetic susceptibility increases the risk for major depressive disorder (MDD), non-genetic protective factors may mitigate this risk. In a large-scale prospective study of US Army soldiers, we examined whether trait resilience and/or unit cohesion could protect against the onset of MDD following combat deployment, even in soldiers at high polygenic risk. METHODS: Data were analyzed from 3079...
