Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A growing body of evidence suggests that inflammatory dysregulation contributes causally to major depressive disorder (MDD) in a subset of individuals. Tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), a key cytokine linking peripheral inflammation and neural dysfunction, may represent a modifiable target for immunomodulatory intervention. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether genetically proxied for TNF-α inhibition...
